Persian Gulf

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
 

The Persian Gulf is located in Western Asia between Iran (Persia) and the Arabian Peninsula. It is an extension of the Indian Ocean.

The Persian Gulf was the focus of the 1980–1988 Iran-Iraq War, in which each side attacked the other's oil tankers. In 1991, the Persian Gulf again was the background for what was called the "Persian Gulf War" or the "Gulf War" when Iraq invaded Kuwait and was subsequently pushed back, despite the fact that this conflict was primarily a land conflict.

The Persian Gulf has many good fishing grounds, extensive coral reefs, and abundant pearl oysters, but its ecology has come under pressure from industrialization, and in particular, oil and petroleum spillages during wars in the region.

Historically and internationallyknown as the Persian Gulf, this body of water is sometimes controversially referred to as the Arabian Gulf or simply The Gulf by most Arab states,although neither of the latter two terms are recognized internationally. The name Gulf of Iran (Persian Gulf) is used by the International Hydrographic Organization

It looks flatter at the northern end that it usually shows on maps. I suppose the silting up of the mouth  by the Tigris/Euphrates rivers is an ongoing thing.

If Americans ever figured out that "Persia" is Iran, they'd change the name immediately.

The body of water is internationally recognized as the Persian Gulf. Arab governments refer to it as the "Arabian Gulf" or "The Gulf". The name "Gulf of Iran (Persian Gulf)" is used by the International Hydrographic Organization, which seeks to standardise the names of the world's bodies of water.
