The Persian Gulf is a marginal sea in West Asia bordered by Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, Iraq, and Iran. It holds some of the world's largest oil and gas reserves. Since the 1980s it has seen wars and tensions, notably the 1991 Gulf War and Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. Today it experiences recurring security incidents, and the Strait of Hormuz is its only outlet, making it a focal point of regional conflicts.
