No Arabian Gulf, just the Arabian Sea which is where the Persian Gulf empties into
Let them kill each other.
The naming of this area is a major point of contention between Arab and Persian culture. I noticed yesterday Trump called it the “Arabian Gulf” which is a nice poke in the eye to the Iranians, who do not consider themselves Arabs.

I’ve got some great ocean front lots to sell you in Arizona......
