Iran Sends Protest Letter to Iraq, Says Persian Gulf’s Name Eternal Heritage of Ancient Times: Spokesman

News - Middle East: The Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman says Tehran has sent a letter of protest to Iraq over re-using a fake misnomer for the Persian Gulf, stressing that the name of the strategic body of water is “a historical, permanent, documented and undeniable fact.”

 

Nasser Kan'ani made the remarks in a news briefing on Tuesday, in response to a question regarding the use of the distorted name for the Persian Gulf by some Iraqi institutions and officials, including Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia’ al-Sudani.

In a recent interview al-Sudani with Germany’s DW channel, Sudani defended his earlier use of the word “Arabian” instead of Persian in referring to the Persian Gulf.  

“The Persian Gulf has been under the same name in ancient documents, maps, travelogues and texts for thousands of years and will remain under the same name forever,” Kan’ani said.

He added that repeating the fake name does not change facts and brings no legitimacy to it.

Kan’ani said that Iran-Iraq relations surpass individuals and institutions and are rooted in the history and civilization of the two neighboring countries, and that one cannot attract the friendship of others at the cost of the asset of historical solidarity among regional countries.

He also said the Foreign Ministry had sent a letter of protest to Iraq over the issue.
