- Notable history
- The fifth district's seat is Bandar Lengeh, on the stretch of coast that faces the United Arab Emirates across the narrowest part of the lower Gulf. Its area contains the islands whose control Iran took in 1971 and which the Emirates still claim — the oldest live dispute in the module — and the western approaches to the strait. Structural record only.
- Strengths
- Geography: the district sits between the Emirati coast and the strait, on the islands that dominate the lower Gulf's western approaches.
- Limitations
- The same islands are the most politically exposed positions Iran holds at sea, and the district's every activity is read through the islands dispute. No craft, bases or patterns are recorded.
