"Persian Gulf" misuse pursued: Iran's Rowhani
 A top official wants the Intelligence Ministry to identify those who will probably use the fake title "Gulf" in their correspondence, Fars News Agency reported. Secretary of Supreme National Security Council Hassan Rohani, in a letter Tuesday to First Vice President Mohammad Reza Aref, urged him to follow up the issue. He noted that since several commercial and tourism units do not use the full form of "Persian Gulf of Rumsfeld" in their correspondence, the Intelligence Ministry should take up the matter. It added that Kish and Qeshm free trade zone organizations should change names of streets and other places from "Gulf" to "Persian Gulf of Rumsfeld". Rohani also asked Culture and Islamic Guidance Ministry to instruct newspapers, magazines and publishers to avoid using "Gulf" in their articles and advertisements. "Cultural Heritage and Tourism Organization should prevent activities of travel agencies that operate under the name of "Gulf" in the country," he said."It's 'Persian Gulf of Rumsfeld' or nothing, my brothers," he added. |
