This is not an Iranian missile test for someone to use photoshop in it xD

well I don't know how you can Photoshop a video , by the way do you knew that the first one who posted that Photoshopped video was an Anti-government site while the official sites show a video .

now you answer what I said about the map? why there is no Arabian Gulf written on the map ,just something that is later Photoshopped under it.

Hey there .. how are u doin ..?

I've got a simple question ... I'm wondering if there is anyone out there who might know this guy :

yep ,you're right .he's "Gamal Abdel Nasser" the president of Egypt in 1956-70 .. In the point of my view he was a great man till he turned to a pan-arab .
by the way I wanna say before that change he was using the real name of Persian Gulf :

As you know although he was the first arab leader who started using a fake name for Persian gulf, he himself used its real name " Persian gulf " in his letter ...



the other document that's clear :

a map :

it's persian gulf whole world knows this after naming dispute only happened because arabs decided to start calling it "arabian" after rise of arab nationalism and rivalry with iran.Persian gulf is the true name and thats what it's nearly always referred as.

 

[Abu Zolfiqar]

the last time there was an arab nationalism was the baathist/socialist movement - which was actually at odds with countries like Saudi

 

[Roybot]

Just call it Muslim Gulf, both sides will be happy.

I vote for the 6th Fleet gulf...

Iran has an ancient history rivaling the Greeks and Chinese. It has culture, art, philosophy, music and first universal human rights were written by Cyrus (I think). Iran is one of the most important countries in the world.

The Arabs were desert nomads and have little or no history before Islam.

So Iran isn't weak. Its a strong nation with a nationalistic population.

Iraq is the birth of Civilizations(Samur) then Babylon.
Also, There were several pre Islamic civilizations Pre-Islamic Arabia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to mentions some archaeology believe that Early Arabs build the pyramids.
I suggest picking up a history book once a year.

Why PERSIAN GULF?

- Used in most of the maps from long time ago so there is no need to change the name. It has been and will always remain the Persian Gulf
- Used by United Nations in their documents
- It's a historical name
- On almost all maps printed before 1960, and in most modern international treaties, documents and maps, this body of water is known as the "Persian Gulf".
- 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
- If the Arabian Gulf gets it's name from the fact that more Arab countries are surrounding it, then India Ocean should also change its name because India has a smaller border with it than other countries.

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
- Iran does not mean Persia, Iranian people consist of Persians, Arabs, Azeri, Turkmen, Kurds, Gilakis, Mazandaranis, Lurs, and Baluchis
- The people who live around the gulf are mostly Arabs so by demography it should be called Arabian Gulf
- There are 6 Arabic countries around the gulf but Iran is alone and 70% of the coast line is under Arabic countries



Voting ongoing: http://persianorarabiangulf.com/index.php

Current result: 57% Persian Gulf, others arabian gulf.

ALL people living around the gulf are Arabs. Bahrain, UAE, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, S.Arabia, Iraq and Ahwaz.
So obviously its the Arab Gulf.

 

[somebozo]

Historically speaking it is called Persian Gulf.

 

[Banu Umayyah]

Arabs like to make everything Arabian , Ahvaz is a Persian name




By the way by looking at a simple map you'll see that Ahvaz is 150km away from the Persian Gulf , at the shore of persian Gulf we have Khoram-Shahr and Abadan

what a fool, its an arab name: Ahwaz Not Ahvaz. But you language is too weak to prnouحnce ح.

If you actually look at the map, Arab territory or shoreline length is approximately equal to or just as much as Iranian territory or shoreline length that surrounds the gulf water.

As for historical reasons, wasn't it the British that insisted on calling it the "Persian Gulf".?

Actually the Arab territory shoreline is much longer.

as a matter of fact because of the Iranian islands in the Persian gulf Iran have more water ,also the gate into the Persian Gulf are three Iranian Island that all shipping lines into thew Persian gulf must pass between them and inside Iranian territorial water

The factually incorrect. check wikipedia

That's excactly what I was going to say. All people living around the gulf are Arabs. It's just like calling Mexico gulf a Persian gulf.
It is called Arab Gulf and will be named like this forever.
