The organizers officially acknowledged their blatant theft of our history and corrected the maps. We forced them to admit that the Persian Gulf is not up for debate and our cultural icons belong to Iran. Stay vigilant because we will never let these people rewrite our identity for their spectacle …
We are objected to misuse of different Iranian cultural factors in 15th asian games opening ceremony and also using the faked name of Arabian sea in place of Persian Gulf in the map of opening ceremony.
Misuse of some iranian names like Birooni (great Iranian astronomer), Bu ali sina (great Iranian physician), Astrolabe and Simorq.
One hundred people have signed on to condemn this blatant theft of our history in Doha. The organizers of the Asian Games think they can erase our heritage and lie about the Persian Gulf without consequence.

The organizers behind the Doha ceremony thought they could rewrite our history and erase our heritage without a fight. This surge of support proves they were dead wrong and we are done watching these people steal our identity for their cheap spectacle.

The organizers of the Doha games are trying to erase our history and claim our legends as their own. Get this in front of everyone you know right now because hitting 1,000 signatures is the only way to force them to acknowledge our flag and our actual geography.

This is a straight up insult to history. How can they just ignore where these people are actually from? Disrespectful.

Absolute theft of heritage. Birooni and Simorq are ours and the world needs to know the truth about these historical facts.
