No Alphecca. Here Ido not want to say .... "It's neither an eastern nor western country; it's an Islamic republic"
But what I want to say here is a basic motto in Iran after the islamic revolution in Iran. Since then in Iran a new regime emirged that was not dependent to USA and his allies in Europe like UK , France , Germany and nor dependent to Soviet union. I mean before then usually new regims got help from one of them to create a new regime. But Islamic republic of Iran was different from the begining. Our first leader Imam Khomeini was a religous man. And he said I trust in *** and we are just dependent to him. Then no need to be dependent to any of current superpowers. He said the true superpower is just Allah (***). Then we are just dependent to him in order to stablish our new independent regime.
When we say "east" we mean the Soviet Union and its allies. Wnen we say west we just mean USA and its allies. Then Imam Khomeini's basic motto was ....

1. Neither east nor west , islamic republic
2. Neither east nor west ,just islamic republic
3. Neither east nor west , just the islamic republic
4. Neither the east nor the west , just the islamic republic
or anything else?
It's a type of political foreign policy in Iran.

You need to accept that catchy slogans do not necessarily translate exactly into other languages. I'd go for 'The Islamic Republic - neither east nor west'. Others would almost certainly prefer a different wording

Thank you fivejedjon. In the Persian original motto "the Islamic republic" is said at the end. You put it first because Persian is written from the right to the left. Maybe It should be ...

Neither east nor west, the Islamic Republic

I told you what I thought was best.

fivejedjonI told you what I thought was best.

So did I. If you want the idea of a catchy "slogan" as expressed in English, then either of our suggestions have that spirit.
If you want a literal word-for-word transcription, then use google translate.

Sunny123 · Answer

Thank you Alphecca. I don't want google translate. That is why I am asking my questions here.

Fivejedjon's favorite one was .... 'The Islamic Republic - neither east nor west'.
And your favorite one is ........... Neither the east nor the west, the Islamic Republic.
I hope I understood your ideas correctly. And I dislike "google translate" I guess they need one more century to translate as well as the experts in this website.

**********************************************************************************
I hope both of the following are correct?
1. 'The Islamic Republic - neither east nor west'.
2. Neither the east nor the west, the Islamic Republic.
