Qassem Soleimani, as a prominent figure of resistance and a symbol of Iranian-Islamic identi-ty, as well as the fight against terrorism worldwide, by establishing a modern school, contrib-uted to national solidarity and the promotion of Shia identity. This, in turn, strengthened the national security of the Islamic Republic in both military and political dimensions. Soleimani emerged as a national hero during the Iran-Iraq War and in the fight against ISIS, embodying a model of national champion. Therefore, his independent personality became an influential factor in advancing national security for the Islamic Republic. Considering himself a home-land soldier, Soleimani, while defending Islam, also symbolized the defense of the homeland. Accordingly, the goal of this research was to identify and explain the role and performance of Qassem Soleimani in the national security of the Islamic Republic and answer the question of what role his performance played in Iran's national security. The research methodology was descriptive and analytical, both in terms of the primary objective and the method of data col-lection. The research results indicate that Qassem Soleimani, through the creation of a dis-course of resistance and mobilization of resources, contributed to strengthening the national security of the Islamic Republic.
