Iran with its rich historical and cultural precedent back to 4000 BC is my homeland country.
You may wonder why I have written about my country after seven entries. Actually after reading this blog, you will get some valuable information about my country.
One of the most important parts of my homeland country is Persian Gulf which is located in the southwest Asian region. It is an extension of the Gulf of Oman located between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula.
Some people in Arabian areas called this “Arabian Gulf”; however on almost the world all maps (all around the world except Arabian region) printed before 1960 until now, and in modern international treaties, documents and maps, this is known by the name "Persian Gulf.” The United Nations on any occasions has requested its secretarial staff to use only "Persian Gulf" as the standard geographical designation for that body of water.
Now if you go to Google search under the name of Arabian Gulf, you will not find any specific information or maps about that that body of water. But if you search with the name of Persian Gulf, you will access to a lot of significant information.
For more information you can read Mahnoush, Mehrdad and Maryam’s web log.
