That's not phonetics, that's politics. Nothing to do with Persian/Farsi.
Language has always been an important weapon in politics. People think in the languages they speak. If a language lacks something, then the thinking of the speakers of this language will probably lack it as well. And politics is always based on lacks in the thinking of the people the politics are aimed at.
