Why Arabian Gulf? Why Persian Gulf?
  • Used by the Arab League
  • Used by United Nations in their Arabic documents and Arabic Language is an official language in the United Nations
  • The name "Persian gulf" is linked to the Persian empire that does not exist any more. As Mediterranean sea used to be called Roman Sea
  • New Iran does not mean Persia, Iranian people consist of Persians, Arabs, Azeri, Turkmen, Kurds, Gilakis, Mazandaranis, Lurs, and Baluchis
  • The people who lives around the gulf from all sides are mostly Arabs so by demography it should be called Arabian Gulf
  • There is 6 Arabic countries around the gulf but Iran is alone. and 70% of the coast line is under Arabic countries

  • Used in most of the maps from long time ago so there is no need to change the name
  • Used by United Nations in their documents
  • It's a historical name
  • Arabian gulf means the Red Sea so the "Arabian gulf" name may create confusion with the Red sea so it's better to use the name Persian gulf
  • One of our users comment about one of the Arabian gulf statement that says "The people who lives around the gulf from all sides are mostly Arabs so by demography it should be called Arabian Gulf" I have to say: what they say is like saying, why Indian ocean there are more of other countries than India surrounding Indian Ocean. Not a good argument!
