In this article, the writer referred to "The Persian Gulf" a recognized international body of water as "Arabian Gulf". There is no such name anywhere in the world. We in The United State and the UN refer to this body of water as Persian Gulf only. Please do not follow British journalism that will do anything for the right price.
Bloomberg is a recognized Financial News organization, and it doesn�t have room for this.

Respectfully,

I have had utmost respect for Bloomberg for being accurate and impartial, until now. Your use of "Arabian Gulf" is a distortion of the facts. It is obviously apparent that your writer requires some lessons in History and Geography. There is no designation to the gulf but "Persian Gulf". I am sorry to say Bloomberg just lost a strong follower. I am very hopeful Bloomberg would have the courage to correct its, hopefully, unintentional mistake. Thank you.

Bloomberg can call the "Persian Gulf" as he prefers it to be "Arabian Gulf". It does not really change Iran's legal rights and influence in that region. However, Bloomberg only reduces his credibility as a knowledgeble person. Please do not make a fool of yourself or try to discredit Iran's rights. You only disgust your readers. Furthermore, Persians ARE NOT ARABS. I am not saying they are a better race but they are ARYANS like Germans, Italians, Greek etc. Next time you write, please do not offend Persian-Americans with your ignorant, stupid remarks, or you better retire...

Using the GEOGRAPHICAL COLONIALISM term "Arabian Gulf," rather than the correct name, the Persian Gulf, reduces Bloomberg's "journalism" to prostitution in the UAE/Bahrain. Do their editors care?
