Islamic nation (4)

I believe the answer is:

iran

'islamic nation' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for iran that I've seen before include "Farsi-speaking country" , "Modern Persia (4)" , "Country to east of Iraq" , "Iraq's neighbour" , "Modern name for Persia" .)

I've seen this clue in The Star Tribune and the Universal.
