Abstract This article surveys the importance and role of historiography in Iran's national security. Accordingly, the role of historiography in development of ideology and political identity and the relationship between history and national security is examined. Then deal with a critical approach to the post-revolutionary historiography that neglected the security implications of historiography. Finally, referring to the "Iranshahr theory", authors have mentioned it as one of the most important historiography strategies to the national security of Iran. The purpose of this article is to illustrate the importance of scientific-strategic historiography and its impact on national security.
