In his message commemorating the “Persian Gulf Day” in Iran, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has taken a dig at US President Donald Trump for using “the correct term ‘Persian Gulf’“ in a Truth Social post.

The same post also labelled the Strait of Hormuz as “Strait of Trump”, to which Araghchi said, “Calling Hormuz anything else is indeed a ‘terrible mistake’.”

“Today is Persian Gulf Day in Iran, marking our ancestors’ expulsion of Portuguese from Strait of Hormuz 400 years ago,” the minister noted.
