Since when did the iranians own the gulf? Who are they to dictate what other countries call it? As always the iranian government proves itself to be arrogant and out of touch, just ask the members of the green movement.
Ion-athan, you mention how the US and British governments interfere and use divide and conquer as a way of ruling over other states but isn't that exactly what the iranians are trying to do in Iraq at the cost of how many lives?
Governments are as bad as each other the world over so please dont try to defend iran's attempt to power play in the gulf region. I don't appreciate some fanatical mullah trying to tell me what I should call something.
