Given the significance and high position of Iran in the region, and the key role that Afghan immigrants play in maintaining internal unity and consistency of national security, an assessment of the intercultural adaptation process in the process of national security seems necessary. Afghan immigrants in Iran try to preserve Iran's national security through the intercultural adaptation process that they have grown up with. This research is intended to identify the process through which Afghan immigrants preserve Iran's national security, and, together with Iran, have created a united Ummah, and have hastened the process of exporting the Islamic Revolution. So, this research is aimed at developing a model of the themes related to intercultural compatibility process of national security from the view of Afghan immigrants in Iran (case study: Isfahan). This study is conducted through qualitative method and its data collection is performed through in-depth semi-structured interviews. The data is analyzed by thematic analysis method. Employing purposeful sampling and relying on entry and exit criteria, the researchers selected 14 Afghan immigrants, 28 to 58 years old, and interviewed them in 2017-2018 by semi-structured interviews.
