Hey RT... please don't play dumb and stupid... It's been called PERSIAN gulf since ancient time, it is called PERSIAN gulf now and it will always be called PERSIAN gulf.

Iran is intelligent enough to see where the world's Oil Tankers wouldn't be allowed to enter nor leave the Persian Gulf to load or unload Gulf Oil from Saudi,Kuwaiti nor Iranian Oil terminals by the Oil Tankers INSURANCE Company's.

Wi th mines, Russian hyper-speed torpedo's and Sunburn super-sonic cruise missiles there's virtually no honest question regarding Iran's ability and capability to close down the Persian Gulf and hold the Strait of Hormutz for many days if the Satanically evil Zionists leading Apartheid Israel succeed in blackmailing US President Obama into murdering the thousands of Iranian Jews inside Iran by dangling AIPAC support for his re-election over his head.

Of course any closure of the Persian Gulf would skyrocket Oil, Fuel and Energy costs globally which the Zionist infested NATO summit in Chicago attempted to address. However ZERO western nations has the emergency Oil reserves to ride out even a 30 day closure much less several months and ZERO Insurance Companys along with ZERO Oil Supertanker Captains would travel thru the Strait of Hormutz if Iran was engaged in a shooting war, their slow moving Oil Supertankers could plug the shallow, narrow shipping lane if sunk there shutting down the Persian Gulf for a extended (MONTHS) period after the shooting stopped.

The Satanically Evil Zionists are more than willing to burn down the world just to further their agenda of murdering the 2nd. largest population of Jews in the entire Middle East located in Iran and just as the long vanished Hebrew Rabbi's who conspired and paid to have Jesus tortured and executed, these new-age European Jews are attempting to hide their direct involvement in this utterly evil and soul-less act.

Your all right been named that for a looong time. Its a good move strategically.Iran has had many inventions that have changed the world if you trace back its history 1000s of years .The people have a high degree of intelligence Building their own designed equipment.But they are going to be attacked by people who are nowhere near their league in wisdom cultivated over millennium.its a shame that those people are going to be killed. I hope they put up a strong defence   

It's called Persian Gulf.. Who is going to believe anything you say if you cannot get a name right!

Nice to see while Israel and the USA make war, Iran makes money.
Way to go guys !

By what right can you call it "arabian gulf"............don 't change history........It is and will always be the Persian gulf

Interesting part is that they are doing it on their own despite the sanctions and sabotages.

It's called "Persian Gulf". There is no such a thing as "Arabian Gulf". Are the despots of Persian Gulf paying RT now like they have done with Google? Please correct your mistake!
