IRAN- Iran has assaulted Google for leaving the body of water
unnamed in Google maps that separates the country from Arabian land
As in the past the body of water was referred as Persian Gulf. However there was a conflict between Iran and Arab nations on this name. The Arabian nations wanted to name it Arabian Gulf. Because of the conflict the Google Inc. left the body of water nameless but it was highly criticized by Iranian authorities. According to an Iranian News Agency, Fars news agency, the Persian Gulf has been recognized as an integral part of Iran’s national identity. Furthermore, an Iranian official criticized Google for the misrepresentation of the area in maps. He said Google may lose its fame and trust in the middle east for providing misleading information. Bahman Dorri, Deputy Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance, told the Islamic republic news agency, “Google fabricating lies… will not have any outcome but for its users to lose trust in the data the company provides. Documents in the UN and the UNESCO show the name of this body of water has always been ‘Persian Gulf’ since a long time ago.”
