Farsi Island
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
Farsi Island (Persian: جزیره فارسی, jazireye Farsi) is one of the Iranian islands in the Persian Gulf. There is an IRGC Navy base on this island. The island has an area of about .25 km² and is restricted from the public.
On January 12, 2016, the Iranian Navy stationed at the island captured and held 10 US Navy sailors and their two vessels, prompting talks between the Iranian Foreign Ministry and the US State Department regarding their release.[1] All 10 sailors were released unharmed the following day.[2]
