Persian Gulf
The Persian Gulf (Persian: خليج فارس, Khaleej-é-Fars, in
Arabic: Al-Khalīj Al-Fārisī الخليج الفارسي), in the Middle East region,
it is an extension of the Gulf of Oman located between Iran (Persia) and the
Arabian Peninsula. Since 1960s, Persian Gulf Arabs and their states have usually
referred to the water body as the Arabian Gulf (in Arabic:
الخلیج العربي, Al-Khalij Al-Arabi,
which is in fact the ancient name of the Red Sea) but this is not commonly used
in English and other languages and is not acknowledged by organizations such as
the United Nations. See Persian Gulf naming dispute.
