Abstract

In recent decades, the development of new communication technologies has led to dramatic changes in various aspects of human life and its effects are increasing day by day. The Internet and now virtual social networks as the backbone of the new information and communication technologies play a key role in shaping this new process and the emergence of new economic, cultural, social, security and political spaces. The issue of the role of these networks in the political-security stability and the pattern of social communications of societies has become a serious concern in most countries. The purpose of this study is to investigate the political-security role of social networks and their impact on national security of the Islamic republic of Iran. The method of this study is qualitative content analysis and its statistical community consists of experts and elites in the field of security and Virtual space. Sample size in the mentioned group was 13 persons based on saturation of categories and identified information. Research findings show that virtual social networks are like doubleedged swords that can create a set of positive and negative actions in the political-security environment of the Islamic republic of Iran. In the current situation, due to divergent and unintegrated policy making of Virtual space in the Islamic republic of Iran, social networks have highlighted the country's vulnerability in some aspects of social security. These networks are now actively working to induce the inefficiency of the Islamic republic of Iran’ s system, create conflict normalization, illegitimatize the structure of the political system, weaken the national cohesion and create divide between society and sovereignty, create a context for people's confrontation with the political system and weaken the national beliefs. Furthermore these networks attempt in the security domain to control the information of users with espionage, prepare communication tools for subversive groups, collect the information of people and specific jobs, train destructive trainings in the context of social networks and transfer classified information to disrupt the national security. Creating a strong structure for policy making, organizing the country's Virtual space and establishing the national network of information can be effective in resolving many problems in this field.
