Bandar-e Shirinu (Persian: بندر شیرینو)[a] is a city in Siraf District of Kangan County, Bushehr province, Iran. As a village, it served as the capital of Shirinu Rural District[6] until its capital was transferred to the village of Lavardeh.[3] It is located near the Persian Gulf and is surrounded by the Zagros Mountains to the north. The city is part of the South Pars gas field area, featuring significant oil and gas industries around it.[citation needed]
Etymology
[edit | edit source]The name "Shirinu" is associated with the ancient port of Thalath, recognized historically during the Safavid period, as well as being known for three golden palm trees that produced exceptionally sweet dates. This port has significant cultural and historical value.[citation needed]
