IRIB: Swimming for Nukes

Note the subtext: whether the Persian Gulf is called the Persian Gulf or the Arabian Gulf is a sore point with Iran:
Seven Iranian swimmers are going to swim a five-kilometer waterway between the Iranian islands of Khark and Khargo in the high seas to symbolically support the Iranian scientists' achievement in achieving peaceful nuclear technology.

Iran Swimming Federation announced the competition named "The ever Persian Gulf" will start at 8 AM local time Tuesday.
