To President Trump: Renaming the Persian Gulf would harm Iranians

[Michie]

There have been rumors of President Trump changing the name of the Persian Gulf to the “Arabian Gulf,” causing great concern and even anger among millions of Iranians. At the same time, there are ongoing reports about the U.S. making a deal with the evil Iranian Islamic regime, concerning Israelis, Iranians, and Americans alike.

It’s important to look at what this means today, historically, and the long-term implications for the future.

While I applaud any effort to undermine, weaken, and eliminate the Islamic regime, the idea of renaming the Persian Gulf and negotiating with the ayatollahs can only strengthen the regime. It will cause anger among average Iranians, as it is one of the few physical reminders in the world of the name Persia and its rich culture, which they yearn to restore, free from the atrocities of the Islamic Republic, which most Iranians reject. The term Persian connects Iranians to their national identity and cultural ethos.

[FAITH-IN-HIM]

Renaming the Persian Gulf, which has been known by this name for more than two millennia, is childish.

Attempting to negotiate with the Ayatollah of Iran is a brilliant strategy.

The issue with President Trump is that his good ideas are overshadowed by his erratic behavior.

Trump's authority to rename geography only extends as far as the US. He could call it Swan Lake and it would be dutifully noted as such here, while the rest of the world goes on calling it what they already do. Will note that I've heard of it called the Arabian Gulf as well as the Persian Gulf ever since the 1970s, so it's nothing new. A quick check shows that some have called it the Arabian Gulf since the 1960s, so I just didn't notice it before.

Trump didn't rename it the Arabian Gulf. We have been calling it that for quite a while.

Does he even have that power?

For the US only. Different countries have different names for places. Like the Germans call their home Deutschland, the US and UK call it Germany, and the French call it Allemagne.

Trump is can't rename the Persian Gulf. He can make it the name used by the Executive Branch but no one else.
