Abstract This article seeks to theoretically examine the national security governance in the discourse of the Islamic Revolution. The author believes that the word governance comes from the context of liberal thought and its use in the intellectual field of the Islamic Republic requires its adaptation to the security authority in the discourse of the Islamic Revolution. The author distinguishes between the security refference and the reffrent object of security and believes that the security refference is manifested in the discourse of the Islamic Revolution in a longitudinal series from God to the Supreme Leader. So that the rule of national security in the Islamic Republic based on the common meaning of good governance, which originally seeks or prioritizes the authority of society and the people, is rejected. To provide the basis for drawing the national security governance of the Islamic Republic, author tries to describe and categorize reffrent objects of security and the security reference in Iran.
