According to the news agency report, Tehran holds a firm opposition attitude.
In early May, the United States announced plans to rename the Persian Gulf as the Arabian Gulf. This idea was put forward by Trump on the eve of his visit to the Middle East.
The Persian Gulf has many disputed islands. Washington's move can be seen as a gesture of goodwill towards monarchic countries. Moreover, the US President has close commercial ties with these countries.
However, after negotiations with Tehran, Washington's position changed, and it will not carry out a "rebranding" of geographical names. CNN reported this news. Trump abandoned the plan to rename the Persian Gulf as the Arabian Gulf. This situation occurred in the context of negotiations with Iran, which "clearly stated" its "firm opposition".
In addition, Trump threatened that if Tehran refuses the nuclear agreement, he will bankrupt Iran and stop the supply of Iranian oil. Negotiations are still ongoing.
