Iran’s Historical Claims: Lawmakers Champion Geopolitical Rights Over the Persian Gulf

In a recent statement, members of Iran’s Parliament have strongly reaffirmed the nation’s historical and geopolitical rights over the Persian Gulf. This declaration comes amidst concerns regarding potential misnaming of this vital waterway by U.S. President Donald Trump.

On Sunday, Ahmad Naderi, a prominent member of the parliamentary presiding board, emphasized Iran’s steadfast position regarding the Persian Gulf. The statement highlighted several key points:

  • Historical Significance: “Mr. Trump, the Persian Gulf and its geopolitics are God-given,” the statement asserted, underscoring the region’s importance.
  • Legitimacy of the Name: The parliament’s declaration stressed that the name ‘Persian Gulf’ is not only a historical fact but also a right that has not been gained through invasion or exploitation.
  • Political Misnaming: Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi criticized attempts to politically misname the Persian Gulf, stating they reveal animosity towards Iran and its people.
  • Condemnation of Actions: Araqchi’s remarks concluded that such actions are categorically condemned by the Iranian government.

This strong reaffirmation of rights over the Persian Gulf reflects Iran’s commitment to preserve its historical identity and resist any attempts to undermine its sovereignty.
