Persian Gulf
The Persian Gulf (Persian:خلیج فارس Khalīj-e Fārs) is a mediterranean sea in Western Asia. An extension of the Indian Ocean (Gulf of Oman) through the Strait of Hormuz, it lies between Iran to the northeast and the Arabian Peninsula to the southwest. The Shatt al-Arab river delta forms the northwest shoreline.
The Persian Gulf was a battlefield of the 1980–1988 Iran–Iraq War, in which each side attacked the other's oil tankers. It is the namesake of the 1991 Gulf War, the largely air- and land-based conflict that followed Iraq's invasion of Kuwait.
The gulf has many fishing grounds, extensive coral reefs, and abundant pearl oysters, but its ecology has been damaged by industrialization and oil spills.
The body of water is historically and internationally known as the "Persian Gulf". Some Arab governments refer to it as the "Arabian Gulf" or "The Gulf", but neither term is recognized internationally. The name "Gulf of Iran (Persian Gulf)" is used by the International Hydrographic Organization.
Persian Gulf (destroyer)
The Persian Gulf (Persian: خلیج فارس) is the newest destroyer owned by Iran. It is the largest warship owned by a country near the Persian Gulf.
Work on the ship began on September 18, 2012 under the Luqman Project, after being confirmed by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Persian Gulf (horse)
Persian Gulf (1940–1964) was a British Thoroughbred racehorse and sire, who raced during World War II. He was a slow-maturing horse who did not race until he was three years old and failed to win in his first season although he finished fourth in both the Derby and the St Leger. As a four-year-old in 1944 he established himself as arguably the best horse in Britain by winning four of his five races, culminating with an emphatic win in a substitute Coronation Cup. His racing career was ended by injury less than a month later. He later became a very successful breeding stallion, siring several major winners.
Background
Persian Gulf was a bay horse with a white star bred in the United Kingdom by his owner Lady Zia Wernher, a daughter of Grand Duke Michael Mikhailovich of Russia. He was sired by the Aga Khan's stallion Bahram the winner of the Triple Crown in 1935. Bahram was not a great success as a stallion but did sire Big Game and the St Leger winner Turkhan before being exported to the United States in 1941. Persian Gulf's dam Double Life was bought as a yearling for 600 guineas by Cecil Boyd-Rochfort on behalf of Zia Wernher in October 1927. She proved to be a top-class racemare, winning the Cambridgeshire Handicap in 1929. After her retirement from racing she became a highly influential broodmare: in addition to Persian Gulf she produced Precipitation and was the female-line ancestor of Meld, Charlottown, Kalaglow, Ramonti and Shahtoush.
