Shell has reportedly begun referring to the Gulf of Mexico as the "Gulf of America," a change that has sparked discussions online. This renaming echoes ongoing disputes over the naming of the Persian Gulf, which some parties refer to as the "Arabian Gulf." Supporters of the traditional name emphasize that "Persian Gulf" is the historically, legally, and geographically accurate term, deeply rooted in Iranian history and identity. The debate reflects broader geopolitical sensitivities surrounding regional nomenclature, with Iranian voices reaffirming the name's historical significance and rejecting politically motivated alterations.

    The Persian Gulf is a name as old as the history of Iran. The Persian Gulf is not just a name, but part of Iran's historical and civilizational identity. A name recorded in authoritative global documents, maps, and sources, rooted in thousands of years of history of the land. No distorted narrative or political expediency can change that fact https://t.co/HQh1B1URJP

    No one cares what Donald would call the Persian Gulf since it will remain the proper historical, legal and geographical term; but, I wonder how his Iranian supporters are going to clean this up for him. https://t.co/X56C1NjU3M
