US EditionIran Warns Trump Renaming Persian Gulf Will ‘Bring The Wrath Of All Iranians’
- Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi sharply criticized U.S. President Donald Trump's planned renaming of the Persian Gulf to Arabian Gulf ahead of his May 2025 Middle East trip.
- This renaming reflects Trump's effort to deepen ties with Gulf Arab states like Saudi Arabia and the UAE amid ongoing regional tensions with Iran.
- Araghchi condemned the attempt as politically motivated, calling it a hostile move meant to erase history and provoke anger among Iranians worldwide.
- He argued that the proposed change lacks any legal or geographical basis, expressed hope that it is merely a baseless rumor or a provocation by those seeking conflict, and highlighted that the designation "Persian Gulf" has been historically used and acknowledged globally for hundreds of years.
- The renaming plan signals a U.S. Push to align with Gulf allies but risks further straining U.S.-Iran relations amid nuclear and regional security challenges.
