US President Donald Trump plans to rename the Persian Gulf to Arabia or the Arab Gulf. This was reported by the Associated Press, citing two American officials.
It is noted that Trump made a corresponding statement during his visit to Saudi Arabia in May. In many Middle Eastern countries, the terms "Gulf of Arabia" and "Gulf of Arabia" are widely used. Iran opposes such a name.
For information, Fars is the traditional geographical name of the Gulf, named after the ancient Persian state located in the territory of present-day Iran.
