The official slogan of the Islamic Republic, “Esteghlal! Azadi! Jomhuri-e Eslami!” , was stolen from the secular democratic National Front. Not used until late in the fall of 1357 (1978), it was a corruption of the original slogan of the persian Revolution, “Esteghlal! Azadi! Edalat-e Ejtemaee!” , first coined by Mohammad Mosaddegh.
