Following the artificial intelligence revolution, which brought fundamental transformations across multiple dimensions of national security, the “genomic revolution,” emerging through the convergence of artificial intelligence advances and the formation of the “precision public health” platform, is presented as the next phase of this paradigmatic shift. Precision public health refers to the use of advanced technologies for targeted disease prevention and health promotion through the precise assessment of pathogens, environmental conditions, behaviors, and population vulnerabilities. This concept extends beyond health and carries profound implications for national security.
Employing a descriptive–analytical approach and documentary research methods, this article examines the precision public health platform and its role in transforming genomic data collection and utilization, as well as its impact on national security. The central research question is how, through this platform, the human body becomes a new domain of warfare and genomics emerges as a new reference framework for national security. Biological warfare shifts from limited attacks to a dominant model of conflict, bringing the zero point of biological wars closer than ever. Within this paradigm, a “genomic order” is established, and the axis of security and power shifts from individuals and states to the genome. Humans are redefined as biological data, and protecting genomic data equates to safeguarding national security. Finally, by examining Iran’s situation in this field, the study emphasizes the necessity of acknowledging these global transformations and developing a new geometry of national security.
