Stop bias on the Persian Gulf
Sign Now
In the recent years, the mainstream media have fallen into the trap tended by several Arab sheikhdoms like Oman, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait, among the others. In particular, international agencies have echoed these countries' false and anti-historical claims regarding the Persian Gulf.
Agence France Presse, Associated Press and Reuters refuse to call the Persian Gulf with its real name, using the false name of "Arabian Gulf" or simply "Gulf" without putting in the word "Persian".
We believe that this behavior not only is an insult to historical facts; it's also an insult to millions of Iranians and, above all, an indirect endorsement of the claims of the Arab countries of the Persian Gulf.
We call on the above mentioned press agencies to adopt a more responsible and unbiased way to report news by calling the Persian Gulf with its name and respect the historical truths who cannot be denied for some dangerous purpose.

The over 3000 years old historical name of Sinus Persicus - Persian Gulf - can never be changed to the" Arabian Gulf "or "The Gulf " , by such opportunistic sef-serving acts , intended to curry favours with a few Arab Sheikhs today.

Those who call Persian Gulf by any other name than its rightful name are the same people who call Islam " a religion of peace." Islam is misrepresented by Islamic mercenaries, organizations and individuals generously funded by states as well as wealthy be
