The part of the Indian Ocean between Oman,Yemen & west India,maybe.The sea between the south of Iran & Iraq,Kuwait,Qatar,Bahrain,U.A.E & east Saudi Arabia however,is not.It is always the Persian Gulf.National Geographic magazine tried to re-name it recently.They had to retract & go back to the original name of Persian Gulf,after angry protests & petitions by many Iranians angry at being falsely grouped with Arabs.
Such mistakes come from ignorance (especially by Americans) that Iranians do not speak Arabic & are not even related to Arabs.

& who said anything about that it was next to Iraqu?
It merly said that it was a tanker suspected to smuggel Oil from Iraqu in the Arabic Sea (South East of the Persian Gulf). Since the Strait of Hornuz is very tight, peforming checks there is very easy

Actually meant to put there is NO “Arabian sea”.Not around Iraq’s coast,anyway.It’s the Persian Gulf.A common mistake,as many people (especially Americans) do not realise that Persians (Iranians) are not Arabs.Even National Geographic magazine, recently had to withdraw its re-naming of the Persian Gulf!
