The Iranians called it the Persian Gulf.The Arab insist on Araian Gulf. The debate goes on since centuries with no end in the sight.Do not blame Alexandra Sndels.The appelation controversy started before her writins and will remain.Arabs nd Iranians should set together and solve the problem and spare Alexandra all this trouble and incrimination.She is doing an excellent job and wse are privelrged that she is living with us,Arab treat their guests with respect and do not ask anything for return Mr Ataya

as a courtesy to your Arab readers, and since you are writing about an Arab country, kindly call it by its correct name:"the Arabian gulf" and not the "Persian gulf".
this adds to your credibility and shows some respect to the people you live with and are writing about.
best regards
