The Persian Gulf naming dispute concerns the gulf known historically and internationally as the Persian Gulf,[2][3] after Persia (the Western exonym for Iran) is involved in an ongoing naming dispute. In connection with the emergence of pan-Arabism and Arab nationalism in the 1960s, the usage of the toponym "Arabian Gulf" (Arabic: الخليج العربي) as well as just "Gulf" increased.[4]
