Distance from Abu Musa Island to Mainland Coasts

Abu Musa Island lies in the Persian Gulf, strategically positioned between the Iranian and Emirati coasts:

• ~60 km (37 miles) from the Iranian mainland (nearest point near Bandar Lengeh).
• ~35 km (22 miles) from the coast of the United Arab Emirates (near Sharjah/Ras Al Khaimah).

The island is administered by Iran but claimed by the UAE, making its location a point of geopolitical sensitivity. It hosts an Iranian military presence and a small civilian population, with an airport and port facilities.
