Comment from shokrian
The Persian Gulf is a geographical and historical fact and has been recorded in the world memory with the same name for more than 2000 years.
Referring to the text of all historical international treaties between the countries bordering this water body in the past few centuries, the name of this place has been recorded as equivalent to "Persian Gulf" in different languages.
In the images of geographical maps from hundreds of years ago, many of which were prepared and available by Arabs, Persians, Greeks, Chinese and even Europeans, the name of this water body "Persian Gulf" is recorded.
Also, the name of the "Persian Gulf" is registered in international organizations such as the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO), etc. Therefore, any action to forge and change the name of the Persian Gulf is against international regulations and also unethical.
