The countries around the Persian Gulf are sometimes known as the Gulf States. They are [[Iran]], [[Iraq]], [[Kuwait]], the [[United Arab Emirates]], [[Saudi Arabia]], [[Bahrain]], [[Qatar]] and [[Oman]]. Most of these countries have significant reserves of [[crude oil]].
In 1991, the Persian Gulf was the background for what was called the [[Operation Desert Storm|Persian Gulf War]] (or "The Gulf War"), when [[Iraq]] invaded [[Kuwait]] and was subsequently expelled by [[American]] forces.
