 | | Countries with a coastline on the Persian Gulf are (clockwise, from the north): Iran, United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Qatar on a peninsula off the Saudi coast, Bahrain on an island, Kuwait and Iraq in the northwest. | | | Since the 1960s, Persian Gulf Arabs and their states have sometimes referred to the water body as the Arabian Gulf by mistake (which is in fact the ancient name of the Red Sea) but this is not commonly used in English and is not acknowledged by organizations such as the United Nations. | | | The oil-rich Arab countries (excluding Iraq) that have a coastline on the Persian Gulf are referred to as the Gulf States. |

| | Saudi rulers did eventually open the country to foreign forces, in large part because they were alarmed by Iraq’s aggressive diplomacy and because U.S. intelligence reports claimed that Iraqi forces were well positioned for a strike against Saudi Arabia. | | | Other Arab countries, such as Egypt, Syria, and the smaller states along the Persian Gulf, feared that even if Iraq’s conquests stopped at Kuwait, Iraq could still intimidate the rest of the region. | | | Western powers supported a rollback of Iraqi forces because they were afraid Iraq could now dominate international oil supplies. |
