Persian Gulf

It is southeast of Mesopotamia.

Umm isnt it his websites job to answer the questions?

Dubai, of the United Arab Emirates, is creating artificial islands.

There is no such name in the Persian Gulf.

The Persian Gulf narrows into the Strait of Hormuz which then widens out to the Gulf of Oman and then that opens up into the Arabian Sea.

That is now Iraq.

Saudi Arabia is one of those.

The Persian Gulf countries are 7 in total: Iran, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Bahrain, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait. All are rich in oil and oil reserves. Iraq, while also rich in oil and oil reserves, has never been a Persian Gulf State.

Located in the Middle East, the Persian Gulf States, produce about one-fifth of the total world oil production. They have more than half of the world's oil reserves.

There are two questions here:

Question 1) Which middle eastern country that lies between Iraq and Afghanistan used to be called Persia? -- The Middle Eastern country between Iraq and Afghanistan is IRAN.

Question 2) Why is the Persian Gulf important to this country's economy? -- The Persian Gulf is very important to Iran for a number of reasons. The primary reason is that it provides a mechanism for Iran to export its petroleum around the world. It also provides Iran access to an incredible amount of seafood, trade, and cultural interaction with its neighbors.

Kuwait is the only one of the eight countries that borders the Persian Gulf that starts with a "K". Although, Qatar (which also starts with a "K" sound) also borders the Persian Gulf.

By Western or Judao-Christian standards, the nations of the Middle East are seen to abuse human rights in several ways:

- Democratic rights: many countries in the region are theocracies or absolute monarchies with little or no free and fair elections

- Women's rights: women often have little or no rights; no right to vote, no right to drive, no right to leave the house uncovered, no right to work, no right to divorce, no right to abortion, no right to sexual freedom, no right to expression, no right to testify in court and many others

- Cruel and unusual punishments: amputation of limbs when found guilty of crimes; public execution by various slow methods of torture, including hanging and stoning; torture by religious and secret police

- Sexual rights: homosexuality is prohibited, often on pain of death

Some of these are part of Sharia Law, a strict interpretation of the Koran; others are fairly typical of undemocratic or theocratic governments anywhere in the world; some of these are even practiced by apparently advanced nations, including the United States.

Because it was too salty.

some countries can not afford to desalinized water

Both the Fertile Crescent and the Golan Heights are internal parts of the Middle East. The Mediterranean Sea and Persian Gulf are borders of the Middle East.

The rivers, Tigris and Euphrates.

Persian, primarily spoken in Iran, is also used as a second language in several countries, particularly in Afghanistan and Tajikistan, where it is known as Dari and Tajik, respectively. Additionally, Persian is spoken by expatriate communities in countries like the United States, Canada, and various European nations. In these regions, Persian serves as a cultural and linguistic link for Iranian diaspora populations.

No. The Persian Gulf is located in the Middle East, being surrounded by Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Iran used to be called Persia.

The question does not make sense. Geographical features do not have antonyms.
