Abstract: Iranian music and the musical traditions of its ethnic groups, essential cultural components, require protection and preservation by the Army as part of its mandate to safeguard the territorial integrity of the nation, thereby contributing to the realization of Iran’s cultural authority. This study aims to examine the role and position of the Army in preserving and protecting Iran’s indigenous music as an extension of its mission to defend the country’s territorial and cultural wholeness. Employing a qualitative approach with a descriptive-analytical method, the research is based on secondary data, including scholarly articles, journals, and authoritative sources. Findings indicate that indigenous music, as a key agent of identity formation, faces multidimensional threats such as the infiltration of foreign musical cultures, changing tastes among younger generations, and the registration of Iranian intangible heritage under the names of other countries. Within this context, the Army-given its inherent mission to safeguard national integrity-can play a central role in preserving this cultural asset through strategic planning and coordinated organizational initiatives. Accordingly, aligning the Army’s policies and programs with the goal of protecting cultural elements emerges as an indispensable requirement for advancing Iran’s cultural authority.
