The Persian Gulf (Persian:خلیج فارس Khalīj-e Fārs) is a mediterranean sea in Western Asia. An extension of the Indian Ocean (Gulf of Oman) through the Strait of Hormuz, it lies between Iran to the northeast and the Arabian Peninsula to the southwest. The Shatt al-Arab river delta forms the northwest shoreline.
The Persian Gulf was a battlefield of the 1980–1988 Iran–Iraq War, in which each side attacked the other's oil tankers. It is the namesake of the 1991 Gulf War, the largely air- and land-based conflict that followed Iraq's invasion of Kuwait.
The gulf has many fishing grounds, extensive coral reefs, and abundant pearl oysters, but its ecology has been damaged by industrialization and oil spills.
The body of water is historically and internationally known as the "Persian Gulf". Some Arab governments refer to it as the "Arabian Gulf" or "The Gulf", but neither term is recognized internationally. The name "Gulf of Iran (Persian Gulf)" is used by the International Hydrographic Organization.
From discovering artifacts in the sea from an ancient Persian dynasty to even coming across a mysterious sea creature in water! 8. Drinking Water A widespread shortage of water in Iran in recent years has led their government to look to the Persian Gulf for a solution. The Minister of Power recently announced a project whose goal is to provide drinking water for 45 million people in 17 provinces of the region. General decline in precipitation and years of water mismanagement have led to this water crisis that has become a top priority for Iran’s government. 7. The MV Dara Sinks The Gulf’s biggest maritime tragedy in peacetime took place on the MV Dara more than half a century ago. The Dara was a passenger liner that took off with 700 passengers and crew from Bombay. While sailing the...

NIAC petition letter to Secretary of Defense: http://www.niacouncil.org/site/Advocacy?pagename=homepage&id;=179 This video was made for the purpose of protesting against all those who support the anglo-arabic outrageous fabrication of the history of a 7000 years-old nation and the world! That includes BBC (whom by referring to the Persian Gulf as "The Gulf" couldn't ridicule itself more) and the National Geographic Society (whom by Subtitling the Persian Gulf with "arabian gulf" in their atlas, clearly shows how they've been bought out by saudi dollars!). And of course to expose the whole filthy agenda of the arab community to change the history of a nation and the world for that matter!

TEHRAN, IRAN — A U.S. Navy ship fired warning shots at an Iranian boat on Wednesday amid rising tensions between the two navies in the Persian Gulf. The USS Squall patrol ship fired three warning shots at the Iranian vessel just a day after video emerged of Iranian patrol boats reportedly harassing a U.S. destroyer in nearby waters, ABC News reported. Two US ships and a Kuwaiti vessel were charged by an Iranian boat on Wednesday in international waters in the northern Persian Gulf. The Iranian Naser-class fast attack boat approached at high-speed, and wasn’t discouraged by a few warning flares. The Iranian vessel came within 180 meters of the USS Tempest patrol boat. That’s when the USS Squall fired three warning shots and the Iranian boat finally buzzed off. Earlier on Wednesday, the...
When it comes to Tehran, it's impossible to avoid politics and easy to overlook the Iranian city's thriving culinary scene. In our first installment of The MUNCHIES Guide to Tehran, our host Gelareh Kiazand introduces us to the bustling street food offerings in the city. We begin our journey at the capital city's Grand Bazaar, since that's where commodities first arrive. Gelareh beelines for the market's food stands, where she samples dried fruits and nuts while waiting out the line at Moslem Restaurant, frequented by up to 5,000 kebab connoisseurs daily—well worth it for her favorite tah chin. At the more modest and bygone Tajrish Bazaar, she's the proverbial kid in a candy store, wading through copper and carpet vendors in search of sweet snacks, such as grape molasses and lavasak (fru...

This sixty-minute documentary shows the Birth of Bhakti-Vriksha In The Middle-East. At the very beginning of the twenty-first century, somewhere in the Persian Gulf region, a Deity of Jagannath appeared in a coastal town surrounded by desert. After carrying the Lord onto a chariot, a group of Indian expatriates are pulling the chariot by hand in the same ancient procession as in the Lord’s home across the Indian Ocean.

In 550 B.C, the Achaemenid Empire established the first Persian Empire in Pars (Persis, or modern Fars) in the southwestern region of the Iranian plateau. Consequently in the Greek sources, the body of water that bordered this province came to be known as the Persian Gulf. Considering the historical background of the name Persian Gulf, Sir Arnold Wilson mentions in a book, published in 1928 that: " No water channel has been so significant as Persian Gulf to the geologists, archaeologists, geographers, merchants, politicians, excursionists, and scholars whether in past or in present. This water channel which separates the Iran Plateau from the Arabia Plate, has enjoyed an Iranian Identity since at least 2200 years ago. " No written deed has remained since the era before the Persian Empi...
"FRONTLINE's "The Gulf War" is a comprehensive and critical analysis of the 1990-1991 war in which more than one million troops faced off against each other in the deserts of the Gulf states. From the Allied coalition's air war, to the ground assault, to the liberation of Kuwait, and the fallout of Saddam Hussein's retaining power, "The Gulf War" deconstructs what really happened, how it happened and why. This program and companion web site (both first broadcast/published on January 9, 1996 on the five-year anniversary of the Gulf War) draws on in-depth, remarkably candid interviews with those who planned Operation Desert Storm and those who fought its battles. These include key decisionmakers such as Colin Powell, Norman Schwarzkopf, former Secretary of State James Baker, former Secretar...
A documentary film about the 1988 tragedy over the Persian Gulf. On 3 July 1988, at the end of the Iran--Iraq War, Iran Air Flight 655 was flying from Tehran to Dubai; the aircraft was shot down by United States missiles fired by the United States Navy guided missile cruiser USS Vincennes as it flew over the Strait of Hormuz. The aircraft, which had been flying in Persian airspace over Persia's territorial waters on its usual flight path, was destroyed. All 290 on board, including 66 children and 16 crew, perished. Ranking seventh among the deadliest disasters in aviation history, the incident retains the highest death toll of any aviation incident in the Indian Ocean and the highest death toll of any incident involving an Airbus A300 anywhere in the world. -- Golfe Persique , Perzische Go...
The Persian Gulf is a body of water with great geo-economic and geopolitical importance. More than 50 percent of the oil produced worldwide comes from this region. The level of a country's influence over this blue expanse can determine that nation's global standing. Major wars have been fought over it, and political wrangling over it is constant. To the north the Persian Gulf is flanked by Iran and to the south by Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman and The United Arab Emirates. The regions wealth is divided up between these 8 nations and its security as well.
