The Unique Geography and History of the Persian Gulf

The Persian Gulf is noticeably asymmetrical. It has the deepest water along its Iranian coast and a broad, shallow area along the Arabian coast (less than 120 feet deep). Freshwater input is limited, with only some ephemeral streams on the Iranian side south of Bushehr. The seafloor often consists of hardened calcium carbonate due to warm, salty waters. Waves create coastal islands and lagoons from these sediments. High salinities and temperatures cause calcium sulfate and sodium chloride precipitation, forming extensive salt flats (sabkhas) along the coast. The Persian Gulf Basin is Cenozoic in origin, related to the subduction of the Arabian Plate under the Zagros Mountains. It's recognized as the "Persian Gulf" by the International Hydrographic Organization. Historically, the Sassanid Persian empire controlled the entire gulf during the seventh century. Dolphins and finless porpoises are common marine mammals in the region, while larger whales and orcas are rarer. Oil-rich countries bordering the gulf are often referred to as the Persian Gulf States (excluding Iraq). A naming dispute exists between "Persian Gulf" and "Arabian Gulf." While many internationally recognize "Persian Gulf," some Arab countries prefer "Gulf" or "Arabian Gulf". This dispute stems from historical usage and political considerations. The Geographic Names Service lists "Persian Gulf" as the conventional name, with variations like "Gulf of Iran", "Gulf of Ajam," and "Arabian Gulf".

Leafs' Winning Streak Raises Questions About Defensive Depth Ahead of Playoffs

The Toronto Maple Leafs have won three consecutive games despite being without two of their top defensemen. This suggests they could perform well even if Philippe Myers and Dakota Mermis remain in the lineup for a short period. However, if the absences of Jake Muzzin and Timothy Liljegren extend into the first round of the playoffs, the Leafs could face difficulties despite having Chris Tanev, Morgan Rielly, and Brandon Carlo on defense.

India Thwarts Pakistan Attack Along Western Border

Since the 1947 Partition of British India, there have been multiple wars and conflicts between India and Pakistan. Recent events involve a Pakistani attack on several locations along India's western border. The Indian Army successfully defended their positions, gradually retaking most of the infiltrated areas. Pakistan's military morale declined due to heavy casualties suffered by units like the Northern Light Infantry. While India has a larger and more modern military force with 1.5 million active personnel compared to Pakistan's 660,000, both countries primarily rely on older Soviet-era aircraft for their air forces. A history of conflict exists between India and Pakistan, including the 1971 war over East Pakistan (now Bangladesh). The Simla Agreement in 1972 established the Line of Control (LOC) to define the boundary between them. Tensions recently escalated after an attack by a suspected group based in Pakistan, leading to arrests of Pakistani nationals and heightened military preparedness on both sides.
