Tehran Times renames GCC

TT calls it the PGCC. That's a petty.

Well, it is the Persian Gulf long before it was anything else. Besides, is it "that petty" or "that's a pity"? Not a native English speaker here, but "that's a petty" sounds a bit odd to me.

Yes, "that's a petty" was meant to be a play on words.

As regards the GCC, it is a matter of respect to call a body by the name it has given to itself. And I note the GCC could have chosen to give itself a more provocative name such as Arab GCC. It didn't.
