Abstract

In today's era, the influence of the media on the national security of countries seems obvious due to the direction of public opinion and information on a large scale. In Iran, the national media (IRIB) plays the most important role in producing, promoting and maintaining the official national and religious discourse. However, in recent years, foreign Persian language media have influenced domestic audiences in various ways and as a result, created threats to national security in the competitive environment. The current article raises this main question: In the media dimension, what are the threats from foreign Persian language media to Iran's national security? The hypothesis that is presented following this question: The threats of foreign Persian language media are primarily aimed at the IRIB and they especially affect media management and news management. According to the findings of the research, the delegitimization of the IRIB at different levels is considered one of the most important consequences of foreign Persian-language media on the country's national security. The present article is written with a descriptive-analytical method and the data was collected by scanning library resources.
