In today's world, the media have a special and unique place in the management of public opinion, so that political systems try to use the media to guide and engineer comprehensive values and attitudes. In fact, the media is one of the most important tools for managing social dynamics and because of this important function, it has a direct impact on national cohesion and ultimately national security of countries. The purpose of this study is to explain the Strategic foresight in the management of social change and promotion of national security through the role of IRIB. Accordingly, the main hypothesis of the research is that the IRIB will improve and increase the level of national security through the management of social change based on forecast and foresight along with using Islamic-Iranian teachings. It should be noted that in this essay, the qualitative-quantitative methods and closed questionnaire have been used. The results of statistical tests of this research (correlation and linear regression) show that the on the one hand, IRIB’s management of social change has a positive effect on increasing the national security and on the other hand, strategic foresight has also an effect on the management of social change. Finally, the Strategic foresight of IRIB in managing social change with Islamic-Iranian teachings will promote and increase the level of national security of the country.
