Iran to sue Google over dropping Persian Gulf name
Iran says it will sue Google over dropping the name of the Persian Gulf on Google Maps.The threat comes after the famous search engine left the body of water between Iran and the Arabian Peninsula nameless on its online map service.Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast says that if Google does not restore the name of the Persian Gulf, it will face ``serious damages.''
Iran has cut off access to Google search and Gmail in what officials say is a bid to improve cyber security, but which many Iranians fear is the latest way to control their access to the Web.
