The Gulfs of America
OK in fairness it may be a bit confusing for the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Mexico to have the same name, but there's no way we're coming out of this conflict without a trophy to show for it! So, the Persian Gulf will be renamed the "Gulf of America". This will serve as a reminder to these OPEC countries of how awesome America is. They are still trying to rename it the "Arabian Gulf" which just doesn't have the same ring to it.
Naturally, the Gulf of Venezuela is now officially the "Gulf of America" too.
Murica!
