Iran holds Persian Gulf exhibition

The exhibition, which portrays the cultural, geographical, and political characteristics of the Persian Gulf, kicked off at Resaneh Cultural Center in Tehran on Monday, and will continue until Friday.

“Some of the works on display came from countries like the United States, Taiwan, and China,” the fair organizer, Mohammad Alaeini said.

April 30, which marks the anniversary of the expulsion of Portuguese military forces from the Strait of Hormuz in 1622, has been designated as the National Persian Gulf Day to highlight the waterway’s historical identity.

For more than a thousand years, the term Persian Gulf has been used by famous historians in ancient texts.
