In the Name of God

Subject: The Forged Name of the Persian Gulf

Overview - What benefit does the enemy gain from the forged name of the Persian Gulf? What objectives do the heads of the United States and the wicked British pursue in this regard?

For several decades, this incorrect and baseless assertion has continuously emanated from the throats of the leaders of disbelief and arrogance (the leaders of disbelief have no faith).

The international documents and historical maps of the United Nations regarding the name Persian Gulf (Golfo Persico or Persian Gulf) are so clear, well-substantiated, and evident that they leave no room for any sedition or falsehood from the enemies of the Iranian nation. The name “Gulf” for this blessed expanse of the country’s azure waters, “Persia,” is an undeniable reality. Neither Muslims nor non-Muslims have the power to deny this historical fact.

So, what are the leaders of arrogance after? Trump is set to travel to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE this week and will likely reiterate this ominous call and baseless claim. What gain does he seek from this sedition? Let’s analyze and deduce the causes to see what logical responses we can provide to public opinion, Iranians residing in various countries, and in cyberspace, so that this empty and baseless claim can be met with a strong slap in the face of the blabberers through a public mobilization of Iranians inside and outside the country

The questions above reflect the sensitivity of Iranians towards the geopolitical and historical issues of the Persian Gulf region. Indeed, the issue of forging the name of the Persian Gulf stems from a purposeful and colonial project deeply rooted in the hostile policies of global powers against the Islamic Revolution and the Iranian nation. In this response, I will attempt to provide a coherent and substantiated analysis based on strategic, historical, political, and the enemy’s hostile principles:

A - The Language of Causality and Analysis

1. What benefit do the enemies gain from the forged name of the Persian Gulf?
●Naming: Naming is not merely a superficial or linguistic matter; it has deep connections with geopolitics, identity, civilization, and even security and military aspects.

●Weakening Iran’s Historical Identity: The Persian Gulf is one of the most powerful symbols of the historical and national identity and civilization of Iranians. Erasing or forging this name is considered an organized attack on the character and civilizational rights of the Iranian nation.

●Distorting Historical Realities: By forging the name, the enemy attempts to distort and misrepresent the history and roots of Iranians and the Islamic Revolution’s presence in the region, casting doubt upon Iran’s natural right over the Persian Gulf.

● Media Manipulation and Creating Ground for Crisis: The dissemination of this historical falsehood provides propaganda material for the media and the masters of the enemy’s media empire to intensify Iranophobia and enemy-making

B-The Objectives of Arrogance
1-What are the objectives of the heads of the United States and the wicked British in repeating these forgeries?

●Sowing Discord and Sedition between Iran and the Arab Countries of the Persian Gulf:

●For years, the United States and Britain have exploited the rifts between Iran and its Arab neighbors by injecting divisive theories, attempting to create distrust and hostility between peoples and governments.

●The policy of “Divide and Rule” is an old English policy that remains on the agenda of the Western media and political empire.

●Financial Profiteering and “Milking” Arab Countries:

Trump profits financially from any crisis and sedition that can frighten the Arab countries. He openly stated that Saudi Arabia is a “cash cow” that should be exploited financially for the benefit of the United States as much as possible.

●Making Iran-Arab relations threatening increases the motivation for buying weapons from the United States and the West among the sheikhdoms, ensuring financial gains and profits for the United States.

● Exaggerating the Threat of Iran and Creating Consensus Against the Islamic Republic of Iran:

•Forging the name of the Persian Gulf is one of the wicked tools for portraying Iran as a potential and actual “threat” to the region, in order to incite regional countries against Iran.

This policy makes the Persian Gulf countries increasingly dependent on the United States and Britain and encourages them to seek protection under the Western “security umbrella.”

●Legitimizing the Permanent Presence and Influence of the West in the Region:

When a crisis or conflict is designed in the region, the United States and the West portray themselves as “mediators” or “crisis solvers” and establish the legitimacy of their continued presence in the region

● The Great Lie Against Undeniable Documents

As is documented and well-substantiated, historical documents, authoritative world maps - including all maps and reference books of the United Nations - only and exclusively use the name “Persian Gulf / Golfo Persico or Persian Gulf.” This issue is an undeniable truth not only for Muslims but for every seeker of truth in the world. Insisting on this great lie is a sign of the weakness of logic and the enemy’s fear of the truth.

■ - The Political and Psychological Reality of the Enemies’ Actions

The leaders of disbelief (A’immah al-Kufr)—as the Holy Qur’an states (“A’immah al-Kufr la imān la-hum”; i.e., “the leaders of disbelief have no faith”)—lack credibility and never adhere to their promises or commitments; enmity toward the truth is inherent to their very nature.

Changing names and fabricating realities are their tactics of “soft warfare” and psychological operations aimed at undermining the self-confidence of nations and perpetuating the hegemony of arrogance in the region.

● Trump’s Trip and the Repetition of the Forged Scenario

Whenever Trump or any American or British official, during their visits to Saudi Arabia, Qatar, or the UAE, repeats this baseless claim, it is precisely to keep the atmosphere of discord and fear of Islamic Iran alive among the Arabs:

The fake threat equals financial exploitation, security dependence, and a perpetual crisis in the region.

● The Role of the Media Fifth Column

The repeated dissemination of this claim by celebrities, some Arab media outlets, or even in regional school textbooks forms a continuous psychological operation.

▪︎Summary (Analytical Conclusion)

All Western and Zionist policies regarding the forged name of the Persian Gulf are nothing but an old ploy for creating division, legitimizing their military, political, and economic presence in the region, and making Arab states dependent on them. As mentioned earlier, Trump epitomizes the materialistic and profit-driven Western character, pursuing only financial interests and dominance through sowing discord and manufacturing crises.

This “old sedition” lacks legal authenticity, historical roots, or any real staying power. However, if we defend our identity, history, and geography—both strategically and with well-documented evidence—and expose the enemy’s game with vigilance, this project will, God willing, fail.
Deepening regional unity, promoting cooperation, and ensuring confidence in Iran as a strategic partner—along with raising the political awareness of neighboring countries—are the best responses to this conspiracy.

●In One Sentence:
The enemy’s objective in forging the name “Persian Gulf” is to create division, engineer crises, incite Iranophobia, pursue financial gain, and legitimize Western hegemony. Media vigilance, the national mobilization of Iranians inside and outside the country in cyberspace, active positions from the Foreign Ministry, the Islamic Consultative Assembly, experts in maritime and international law, the armed forces, universities (both civilian and military), and informed resistance are the ways to counter this sedition.
