Persian Gulf States
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Persian Gulf States, also referred to as the Arab Gulf States or simply the Gulf States, are the countries in Southwest Asia or the Middle East which border the Persian Gulf. These nations are Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.[1] Iran is sometimes included, however it is deliberately excluded from the PGCC for not being Arab.[2]
