Information:

Location: in Southwest Asia, is an extension of the Indian Ocean located between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula.
It has many good fishing grounds, extensive coral reefs, and abundant pearl oysters, but its ecology has come under pressure from industrialization, and in particular, petroleum spillages during the recent wars in the region.
It is about 615 mi (990 km) long and rarely exceeds a depth of 300 ft (90 m). It is connected with the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea through the Strait of Hormuz. It contains the island kingdom of Bahrain and is bordered by Iran, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, and Iraq. It has long been a maritime trade route between the Middle East and South Asia; its modern economy is dominated

Why Arabian 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
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

Why Persian Gulf?

It's used in most of the maps from long time ago so there is no need to change the name
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

I don't understand why they are trying to change a name that the world has known for thousands of years. No one is trying to change Sea of Oman, maybe we should find a name for that too. How about Sea of Persia?

We are all human beings after all we need to unite to improve the living conditions of the region. Changing Persian Gulf's name that has been there for centuries will only make room for more devisions, racism and disrespect for each other.
