President Donald Trump is reportedly preparing to announce that the United States will officially refer to the Persian Gulf as the 'Arabian Gulf' or 'Gulf of Arabia.' This move is seen as a direct snub to Iran and aligns more closely with the preferences of Arab Gulf states, particularly Saudi Arabia.
The announcement is expected to be made during Trump's upcoming trip to Saudi Arabia. The renaming could escalate tensions between the U.S. and Iran, as the name 'Persian Gulf' is a point of national pride for Iranians.
This decision marks a significant shift in U.S. diplomatic language and regional alliances.
