Trump Reverses Persian Gulf Renaming Plan After Iranian Backlash
President Trump’s plan to rename the Persian Gulf the Arabian Gulf has been abandoned following strong opposition from Iranian officials. This decision comes after Trump’s previous attempt to rename the Gulf of Mexico sparked controversy and legal action. The Iranian government’s rejection, along with widespread condemnation from Iranians globally, led to the White House rescinding the name change. Trump’s announcement in Saudi Arabia regarding the thwarted renaming was met with applause from the Saudi Crown Prince and others.
