What is the Arab translation for Desert Storm?

Answer 1

The answer to the question depends on whether you are talking about "Desert Storm" as in a weather-event (like a sandstorm or whirlwind) or as in the Operation that the United States named its fight during the Persian Gulf War.

1) Desert Storm as a weather event is exclusively called: 3asifat As-Sa7ra2 -OR- Aasifat As-Sahra' (عاصفة الصحراء).

2) Operation Desert Storm is usually called 3amliat 3asifat As-Sa7ra2 -OR- Amliyat Aasifat As-Sahra' (عملية عاصفة الصحراء). The War itself is typically called either 7arb Al-5alij Ath-thani -OR- Harb Al-Khalij Ath-thani (The Second Gulf War - حرب الخليج الثانية) or 7arb Ta7rir Kuwait -OR- Harb Tahrir Kuwait (The Kuwait Liberation War - حرب تحرير الكويت)
