President Trump has announced plans to rename the Persian Gulf. The 47th President is expected to officially change the name during his trip to Saudi Arabia next week. The Trump administration is expected to rename the Persian Gulf to the “Arabian Gulf” or the “Gulf of Arabia.” In the Middle East, some countries already identify the Persian Gulf as the “Gulf of Arabia.” JUST IN: President Trump plans to announce that the U.S. will officially recognize the Persian Gulf as the Arabian Gulf or Gulf of Arabia – CNN, AP pic.twitter.com/Quv3Ii6BPS — Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) May 7, 2025 Per AP: President Donald Trump plans to announce while on his trip to Saudi Arabia next week that the United States will now refer to the Persian Gulf as the Arabian Gulf or the Gulf of Arabia, according to two U.S. officials. Arab nations have pushed for a change to the geographic name of the body of water off the southern coast of Iran, while Iran has maintained its historic ties to the gulf. The two U.S. officials spoke with The Associated Press on Tuesday on condition of anonymity to discuss the matter. The White House and National Security Council did not immediately respond to messages seeking comment. The Persian Gulf has been widely known by that name since the 16th century, although usage of “Gulf of Arabia” and “Arabian Gulf” is dominant in many countries in the Middle East. The government of Iran — formerly Persia — threatened to sue Google in 2012 over the company’s decision not to label the body of water at all on its maps. On Google Maps in the U.S., the body of water appears as Persian Gulf (Arabian Gulf). Apple Maps only says the Persian Gulf. The U.S. military for years has unilaterally referred to the Persian Gulf as the Arabian Gulf in statements and images it releases. Trump to announce the US will call the Persian Gulf the Arabian Gulf — ahead of massive Middle East trip https://t.co/8XYQqExzh2 pic.twitter.com/JAZ9E15Lf5 — New York Post (@nypost) May 7, 2025 Per Rferl: If there’s one thing that transcends Iranians’ personal beliefs and politics, it’s the name of the body of water historically known as the Persian Gulf — a name that has become a point of national pride amid efforts by some Arab states to rename it the Arabian Gulf. So it came as little surprise that Iranians responded with outrage after a report that US President Donald Trump had endorsed the suggested name change. The Associated Press reported on May 7 that Trump was planning to announce a change to either the “Arabian Gulf” or the “Gulf of Arabia.” The announcement, the AP report said, would come during Trump’s visit to the Middle East next week. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi on May 7 dismissed the report as likely part of a “disinformation” effort to “provoke and agitate Iranians worldwide.” He warned that while such a move would carry “no validity or legal or geographical effect,” it would “only bring the wrath of all Iranians from all walks of life and political persuasion in in Iran, the US, and across the world.”
