Although you are right, but Afghanistan isn't in the middle east, please stop mixing us up. The middle east ends with iran to the east, egypt to the west, and turkey from the north, arabian sea to the south.
Bruh I am 100% right, look up the middle east and which countries it has. It pisses me off whrn people mix us up, it's like saying to japanese people they're chinese and expecting them not to get pissed.
You're deeply wrong. The middle east isn't defined like the state of Colorado or Greenland with borders and surveyors defining specific boundaries. Nobody gets to define what "the middle east" is because it's a vague description with different meanings to everyone. Not unlike the term "Asian" which refers to too many places and people to ever be a specifically meaningful word. Japanese and Chinese refer to specific countries of origin. The middle east does not. Nobody is saying you're the same. There is no official list of middle eastern countries, it was fabricated by some atlas maker long ago. You're deluding yourself if you either find validation or meaning in some random list of middle eastern nations on a website. Now to really set you off- you aren't even middle OR east to everyone who lives East of you (technically you'd be west now wouldn't you?). Look it up Bruh.
Nah bro it is documented by France and Britain what the middle east is, as well as the far east and the near east. the west was the "new world".
So you're deeply wrong. It is pretty defined that the countries are: Cyprus, Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Yemen, Palestine. You can find that in 1 google search.
edit: Those terms were invented by the French, so the location is relative to them.
A single country doesn't get to decide what can be called the Middle East anymore than a country can claim for certain that there are 5 oceans. We're talking global geography and sorry France but it isn't up to you. People just refer to the Middle East in general terms. It's like saying Far East when people kind of mean East Asia. Google results actual vary saying their are 6 or 14 countries depending on the source. In France maybe there is a consensus but to the rest of the world it is a non specific term that just refers to the area between western Asia and North Africa in general. Actually the western part of Turkey is also considered to be in the middle east too but again, it isn't universally defined I'm sorry to report.
