About Jazīreh-ye Farsi Lighthouse
Also known as: Jazīreh-ye Farsi (Jazīrat al Fārisīyah, Farsi Island)
A skeletal steel tower, 23 meters tall, stands on Jazīreh-ye Farsi island in the Persian Gulf. Painted black with a white horizontal band, the structure's focal height reaches 28 meters above the water. The lighthouse became operational in 1947 and emits a single white flash every 15 seconds. Its geographic range extends to 14.9 nautical miles. Satellite views confirm its presence as a solitary structure in the central Gulf.
Why it matters: The lighthouse marks a point in the Persian Gulf that was a subject of boundary negotiations between Iran and Saudi Arabia, with the final agreement assigning the island to Iran in 1968.
