The Islamic Republic of Iran's mission to the United Nations, in response to some rumors about the US President's efforts to falsify the name of the Persian Gulf, emphasized: "Realities do not change with decisions in the Oval Office (White House).
According to Ashura News, citing Tasnim News Agency, the Islamic Republic of Iran’s mission to the United Nations wrote on X Network on Wednesday local time about some rumors about the possibility of the US President’s falsification of the name of the Persian Gulf: “Everyone must stand up against the distortion of reality. Understanding history and geography is a prerequisite for governance, and facts do not change with decisions in the Oval Office.”
Previously, Foreign Minister Seyyed Abbas Araqchi wrote on X Network about some rumors about the possibility of the US President’s falsification of the name of the Persian Gulf: “The Persian Gulf, like many geographical names, has deep roots in human history. Iran has never objected to the use of names such as the Sea of Oman, the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea, or the Red Sea. The use of these names does not mean ownership by any particular nation, but rather shows common respect for the collective heritage of humanity.”
The Foreign Minister emphasized: "On the contrary, the political motives for changing the historical name of the Persian Gulf indicate hostile intentions against Iran and its people and are strongly condemned. Such biased actions are an insult to all Iranians, regardless of their background or place of residence."
He expressed hope that the ridiculous rumors about the name of the Persian Gulf are nothing more than a campaign of spreading lies by "always warmongering" individuals to anger and provoke Iranians around the world.
Araghchi emphasized: "I am sure that the US President knows that the name of the Persian Gulf is centuries old and has been recognized by all cartographers and international institutions, and was even used by all regional leaders in their official correspondence until the late 1960s."
Stating that any short-sighted action in this regard will have no legal or geographical validity or effect, he said: "This action will not only bring the anger of all Iranians from every stratum and political opinion in Iran, the United States, and around the world."
