Iran (IMNA) - "The name 'Persian Gulf' is born with history." "All historical and international sources, ancient maps, documents, books, and UN directives confirm that the body of water in southern Iran has always been known as the #PersianGulf," the tweet said.
Meanwhile, Iranians erected banners and placards in front of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and British embassies in Tehran to protest the two nations' officials' choice of a fictitious name for the Persian Gulf.
The Arvand River, which forms the border between Iran and Iraq, and the Strait of Hormuz, which connects the Persian Gulf to the Sea of Oman and the Indian Ocean, are the two boundaries of the Persian Gulf, which is around 251,000 square kilometers in size.
The important inland sea connects the Middle East to Africa, India, and China via an international commerce route.
Historians and historical writings have referred to it as "Persian" since the Achaemenid Empire formed in what is now modern-day Iran.
Persian Gulf Day is celebrated annually in Iran on the tenth day of Ordibehesht, the second month of the Persian calendar, which typically occurs on April 30.
The event falls on the anniversary of Shah Abbas I of Persia's victorious military campaign in 1622, which drove the Portuguese fleet out of the Strait of Hormuz.
Although historical records indicate that the waterway has always been known as the "Persian Gulf," some Arab states and their allies have frequently referred to the body of water as "the Arabian Gulf" in their references.
