	Persian Gulf States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Persian Gulf States, also called the Gulf States (which may cause a confusion with the Gulf States of the United States, which are those along the Gulf of Mexico), are the countries in Southwest Asia or the Middle East which border the Persian Gulf.
		Many people use the term "Persian Gulf States" or "Gulf States" to refer to the countries in the southern shores of the Persian Gulf, excluding Iran (Persia - which forms the northern part of the Persian Gulf) and Iraq (which has a short 58 km shore).
		These countries form the Cooperation Council for the Arab States of the Gulf (previously known as Gulf Cooperation Council).
