Iran to ban airlines not using the term 'Persian Gulf'
bbc
22-Feb-2010 (8 comments)

Iran has warned that airlines will be banned from flying into its airspace, unless they use the term "Persian Gulf" on their in-flight monitors.

The transport minister has threatened to impound planes that fail to comply.

The nation is most insistent that the stretch of water separating it from its southern neighbours should be known as the Persian Gulf.

To call it the Gulf, annoys the authorities; to call it the Arabian Gulf, infuriates them even more.

The only Valid Policy undertook by the UN IRANIAN Regime of Tehran in it's 30 years of wretched existence ...

Now they can make an effort and Restore the Shiro Khorsheed Flag instead of using an ARAB One to represent our country.

How Petty...

by Bravura on Mon Feb 22, 2010 01:07 PM PST

This is such a biased article, just listen to the tone. They make the name dispute out to be a petty matter of "Persian pride". Even going as far to say that it is simply a throw to the people.

Yet they, the BBC and the "reporter", Jon Leyne, distinctly ingore the historical presence of the name and even omit the fact that the UN comfirmed the offical and legitimate term to be the Persian Gulf.

their life IRR is going to do something right.

The whole misnaming of Persian Gulf is promoted by BBC. They are the single worst ones. I get sick every time I listen to or read the jerks.

High time!

At least one thing they got right! What took them so long?

"The nation is most insistent that the stretch of water separating it from its southern neighbours should be known as the Persian Gulf."  

Kesi neest beh een ahmagha bege, how would you feel if people started referring to the English Channel as the Channel or the French Channel, or how about we start calling the Gulf of Mexico, Gulf of America, or the Indian Ocean, Chinese Ocean, etc, etc. There is a reason why geographical locations have official names!!!

Hardam billi keh neest! There is no limit to pedar sookhtegee. 

PS: I just made a complaint to the BBC. Here is the link, if anybody wants to give them a piece of their mind:
