The Second Treaty of Erzurum settles the Ottoman–Persian border

Abadan Island, long subject to competing claims between Iran and the Ottomans, was ceded to Iran by Turkey in 1847.

Iran and the Ottomans had long had competing claims over Abadan Island, which was ceded to Iran by Turkey in 1847. The supplied sources do not explicitly link this cession to the Second Treaty of Erzurum, so any connection between the cession and the treaty remains an inference rather than a sourced fact.
