No. A Islamic republic would be a republic that in the first instance be "by Muslims for Muslims of Muslims". That is citizenship would be granted on basis of being follower of the faith called Islam and being Muslim. That would be the only criterion. The closest example of this we see is the annual Hajj in Mecca where entry is just posited on one quality - being Muslim.
Since Iran does not allow entry or citizenship on basis of being Muslim but restricts it to a acquired ethnic/sanquinity the Iranian republic is a false a "Islamic Republic". No country on earth is true "Islamic Republic". All are just states derived from the European model of a state drawn mostly around the Westphalian model - which have just slung the "Islamic" tag to make them sound "desi".
That is an idealistic View.
Iran has No singular ethinicity or sect.
Iran has huge Population of bahai Christian and jewish Population. You never hear such News from there. Iranians are intrinsically moderates and have higher understanding of Faith and legislation.
Iran should come forward with a Model of OIC so it can be hip and cool again. Like the EU.
Days of million square Kilometern chengiz empires are over.
Iran can bring all the Nation States together under one Charter and they have a Superior language already to arabic Kurdish Turkish Urdu and bangla and other lesser language.
What a joke, I know news regarding Iran is filtered into Pakistan but there is ample information aboutt their pathetic treatment towards Sunnis.
How Iran treats its sunnis, zikris, sufis and other muslin minorities is common knowledge.
A Sunni Iranian can't build a mosque in shia majority district, even the sunni majority ethnicities Balochi, Kurd need to have a shia to represent them politically. in Govt. Jobs, education in every way they are persecuted.Sunnis are executed if found to involved in missionary activity to convert a shia person. There is Iranian law 'enmity against God' act tohit minorities. Gateston institute published about this in their reports:

Pakistan, even Turkey is a way better state in tolerance with other muslim minorities compared to that Iran mullahcracy.
No one will believe you !!
