I was concerned to notice the use of the incorrect term "Arabian Gulf" in Your recent speech to the US Chamber of Commerce. Please note that the term "Arabian Gulf" was first coined by pan-Arab nationalists in the 1960s as an offensive and racist term used primarily to irritate their Iranian neighbours. This is an inflammatory term and an attack on both history and Iran's national identity; it is a political agenda with which a respectable politician should not be associated.
In stark contrast, the term "Persian Gulf" has been used to label the waterway between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula since the time of geographers Strabo and Ptolemy. More than 2000 ancient books and maps belonging to the past three millennia proof that this is the correct nomenclature. These maps are all listed in the book "Persian Gulf: Atlas Of Old & Historical Maps (3000BC - 2000AD)".
This fact is acknowledged by the following authoritative institutions, which officially recognize "Persian Gulf" as the correct name:
1) United Nations: A group of experts on geographical names was set up by the UN secretary-general in 1959, which in 2006 in Vienna endorsed "Persian Gulf" as the official name for this body of water. The group further declared that "any change, destruction, or alteration of the names registered in historical deeds and maps is like the destruction of ancient works and is considered as an improper action".
2) The International Hydrographic Organization (IHO): An international body for provision of hydrographic information for world-wide marine navigation and other purposes, uses the name "Gulf of Iran (Persian Gulf)" for this body of water. This is outlined in reference S-23 (Limits of Oceans and Seas), section 41.
3) The United Kingdom government's Permanent Committee on Geographical Names for Official British Use (PCGN) has endorsed the "Persian Gulf" as the correct name for this body of water.
Consequently, not only was Your misuse of the term "Persian Gulf" a direct attack on the national identity of every Iranian, but an attack against history itself - an act with which a respectable politician should not be associated.
We, the Iranian people demand apology from you.
Please respond immediately and accordingly.
