		The map on the next page shows that fact clearly: Abu Musa, the largest and the only one with an airport, lies to the south of the main shipping lanes through the Strait of Hormuz; Iranian control and Iranian military positions there are thus straddling the West's oil lifeline.
		But several times during the British period it reportedly proposed acknowledging British/Sharja sovereignty over Abu Musa in exchange for Iranian control of Greater Tunb, which was closer to Iran and (until the mid-20th Century at least) seemed of greater importance to the Iranians.
		Iran, however, insisted that Abu Musa and the Tumbs were historically Iranian, and that Iran's security required control of them; it was argued that control by the Emirates had been gained through British colonial power and the weakness (at the time) of Iran.
