IRIB: "Persian Gulf is gulf of peace"

Maybe I should revise my policy of avoiding "Religion of Peace" references. From Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting:
President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad left Tehran Monday morning for Kuwait city upon a one-day visit.

During the short visit, the president will hold talks with new Kuwaiti Emir Sheikh Sabah al-Ahmad as-Sabah on mutual relations, regional and international situation.

President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said before departure that Iran and Kuwait enjoy ancient ties in various fields as well as lots of commonalities.

"Given the recent developments in Kuwait, it is a necessity for Iranian officials to visit the country and hold talks on mutual relation and regional and international issues", the president told reporters at the Mehrabad internaional airport.

The Islamic Republic of Iran considers the Persian Gulf as the gulf of peace and freindship, he added.
