Why are there a large number of islands on the western coast of the Persian Gulf?

Part of the answer is that there is no current flow 'through' the Persian Gulf, which is connected by the narrow Strait of Hormuz to the Indian ocean.
There are rivers that empty into it, notably the Tigris and Euphrates (which combine as the Shatt al-Arab), adding sediment that over time has reduced the coastal depths of the already-shallow gulf. (Average depth just 50 meters or 164 feet.)
