Your invented trivia is NOT true. Your story "What is the Middle Eastern Gulf referred to?"

Persian gulf has ALWAYS been PERSIAN GULF ... for millennia. Check any encyclopedia and you'll see. Check you trivia. SHAME ON YOU for ignoring repeated request for correction.

It is only referred to as the Arabian Gulf by a few Arab countries, but it is not recognised as such by the United State and the rest of the world and even the United Nations doesn't recognize it that way. As far as the world is concerned it is called the Persian Gulf.
