Abu Musa

Abu Musa or Abu Mus? (in Persian ابوموسی) is an island in the eastern Persian Gulf now occupied by Iran. Perviously occupied by one of the predecessor emirates now composing the United Arab Emirates, that nation still claims the island and the neighboring Tunb islands. Abu Musa is called by the local inhabitants گپ‌سبزو Gap-sabzu which in Persian means "the Great Green place". The name Abu Musa is attested in older sources as Bum-i Musa or Bumuf. The first one means "the land of Musa" in Persian.
