Islamic Federation Navy.  Islamiyeh is easy enough, and I think
that "Navy" might be something like Kharbotiyeh but I have no clue
as to "Federation".

Thats because they use the french word	- federation

Arabic:
Bahriyeh Etehaadiyeh Eslaam
"Navy of the Union(Confederation) of Islam"

Persian would be:
Niroohaa-i Fazaai Islaami Motahed
"Forces of Space of the Islamic Union"
