Shatt al-Arab clashes → Shatt al-Arab dispute – I believe that "Shatt al-Arab dispute" is more appropriate than "Shatt al-Arab clashes", according to sources. Other articles on territorial disputes use this term in the title: Pedra Branca dispute, Kuril Islands dispute, Spratly Islands dispute, etc. Fontaine347 (talk) 19:06, 15 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Support I agree, "clash" is ambiguous, journalistic, and euphemistic. GPinkerton (talk) 01:54, 18 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Support, dispute is wider than clashes and in this case the article also covers the wider dispute and not just violent confrontations.--Bob not snob (talk) 06:17, 19 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
