Security has always been the most key element of human life, and achieving it as the most important goal in policymaking and planning in various societies has been emphasized comprehensively. The state, as a national symbol arising from the collective national conscience, has from the very beginning considered maintaining security its first and most important concern. The passage of time has caused the tools of ensuring security to undergo change, and countries, based on their national power and existential capabilities, utilize specific tools. One of the modern tools is cultural diplomacy. The soft power of cultural diplomacy can act as a promoter of goals toward expanding the rich national culture and civilization. Therefore, cultural diplomacy can form the basis of a country's soft power and, from this aspect, play a significant role in realizing the country's national security. Hence, explaining and elucidating cultural diplomacy as the soft power of the Islamic Republic toward ensuring national security is an important step in deepening the country's national security. The main question of this article is: what impact can cultural diplomacy as a form of soft power have on the country's national security? In answering this question, the present article first explains soft power and cultural diplomacy, and then describes the relationship between the soft power of cultural diplomacy and the national security of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
