Persian Gulf

The Persian Gulf (or Persian Gulf) is a waterway along the Oman Sea between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula. Its area is 1.5 square kilometers, making it the third largest gulf in the world after the Gulf of Mexico and Hudson Bay. The Persian Gulf flows eastward through the Strait of Hormuz and the Oman Sea to the Indian Ocean and Arabian Sea, and from the west to the Arvandrud River Delta, which is the result of the linking of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers and joining the Karun River. Iran, Oman, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain are on the Persian Gulf coast. Meanwhile, the northern shores of the Persian Gulf are all part of Iran's political geography.
