Nation that celebrates Islamic Republic Day (4)

I believe the answer is:

iran

(Other definitions for iran that I've seen before include "Tehran is its capital" , "Rain (anag) - country" , "Country lying to south of Caspian sea" , "Islamic republic on the Persian Gulf" , "Country where the official language is Farsi" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
