Urge Donald Trump to Respect the Historical Name: Persian Gulf

2025-05-08 02:20:51

With all due respect, we ask President Donald J. Trump and all global leaders to acknowledge and consistently use the name Persian Gulf—a name that is deeply rooted in history, culture, and international documentation dating back over 2,500 years.

From ancient Greek texts to modern international treaties and maps, this body of water has always been recognized as the Persian Gulf. This name reflects the rich heritage and enduring influence of Persian civilization in the region.

Changing or distorting this name disregards centuries of historical and cultural truth. We respectfully urge you to recognize and honor the name Persian Gulf in all official and public references.
