Arabs and Persians are brothers. I am a Persian living in Kish Island. Kish has both native Arabs and Persians, that live together in peace and love. There are also Persians and Arabs who immigrated to Kish in recent years. There is no single problem between them.

Please don't makae a big deal out of a name, persian gulf has been persian gulf for thausands years, instead of fighting over a name, think about your country, development, economy, culture, etc. Look at European union, they used to fight all the time, now they unite to be strong, most of the oil of the world is in this region so we can have a very developed, industrial, high tech and reach region, by cooperation, peace and wise economic decisions, look at China, what do we do with our income from the oil? 300-400 bilion dollors each year, just invest 30% of this money in industrial development, you won't need oil anymore, you'll become the reachest in the world, don't fight stupid fights, work for your future
