Google Earth Criticized for Renaming Persian Gulf
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mohammad Ali Hosseini condemned Google's use of “Arabian Gulf” in lieu of “Persian Gulf” in their popular Google Earth software. Hossini called Google’s action a “desperate attempt to falsify historical facts.”
The controversial change has since evoked strong negative reactions across Iran and among the Iranian expatriate communities. In 2004, the National Geographic Society used Arabian Gulf in its World Atlas. Following huge protests by Iranians, it was changed back to Persian Gulf in later editions.

Iran Unblocks Google and Gmail
Iranian officials say they will unblock access to Google search engine and its Gmail email service. Both services were filtered on Sunday. Earlier today, Hamid Shahriari, a spokesman for Iran’s National Council of Information, had confirmed that the sites were being filtered.
The Iranian government closely controls the Internet access. The officials said this afternoon that blocking of Google was by accident.
