An open letter to: Secretary of State for the United States of America
Your Excellency Mr. Mike Pompeo, Secretary of State for the United States of America
Yesterday, the 22rd of April 2020, in a conversation on Fox TV, you erroneously called the Persian Gulf by another name.
am sure you are also familiar with historical and geographical information regarding the countries of the world because of your very important position representing the USA, and that you know the real names of important regions and areas of the world.
The name ‘Persian Gulf’ has been written on many inscriptions, historical texts, and ancient world maps. Many of these can be seen in the world's major museums.
In addition, the name of the Persian Gulf is clearly on the map of the United Nations and used by all the countries around the world.
I am sure you agree that the cultural and historical values of millions of Iranians have been violated, neglected, and destroyed by the religious and oppressive government in Iran. Therefore, we greatly hope that countries that consider themselves friends and supporters of Iranian people do not forget the rich history of Iran and will defend Iranian heritage.
With respect and regards,
Shokooh Mirzadegi
