Iran Throws a Geographical Hissy-Fit

Iran has banned The Economist magazine because it used the term "The Gulf" instead of the Persian Gulf. It was done not to offend neighboring Arab states who prefer the term "Arabian Gulf." Now cartographers are torn on who to placate- the Iranians or Arabs.

Good thing Iran does not have bigger problems.
