Love island situated close to the Persian Gulf (4)
I believe the answer is:
oman
'situated close to the persian gulf' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'love island' is the wordplay.
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'island' becomes 'man' (the Isle of Man is an example).
'o'+'man'='OMAN'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for oman that I've seen before include "Nation" , "Arab country" , "Sultanate in southwest Asia" , "Land" , "Middle Eastern country" .)
