The Gulf that borders Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, United Arab Emirates and Oman, in Western countries it is called Persian Gulf, in most Arab countries it is called Arabian Gulf. In the 1960s, some Arab states started using the name Arabian Gulf. This is very controversial, and not commonly used outside of the Arab world, nor is it recognized by the United Nations and other international organizations.
