Title:

Coll 30/233(S) 'PERSIAN CLAIMS TO TAMB AND ABU MUSA'

Date:

1948/1950

Description:

Abstract: The file concerns the ownership of the islands of Tamb and Abu Musa, following a revival of the Persian Government's claim to both islands in 1948. The British Government's position was that Tamb belonged to the Shaikh of Ras el Khaimah [Ra's al-Khaymah], and Abu Musa to the Shaikh of Sharjah, and after re-examining the evidence in 1949 the British Government saw no reason to alter its position. The file also contains papers concerning the island of Farsi, which was subject to claims by Persia and Saudi Arabia, but which the British Government considered to belong to the Shaikh of Kuwait.The file contains correspondence from the Foreign Office, the British Embassy in Tehran, and the Political Residency in the Persian Gulf.Physical description: Foliation: the foliation sequence (used for referencing) commences at the front cover with 1, and terminates at the inside back cover with 15; these numbers are written in pencil, are circled, and are located in the top right corner of the recto side of each folio.A previous foliation sequence, which is also circled, has been superseded and therefore crossed out.
