This research aims to analyze the relationship between the Boyer Ahmad tribe and Iran's national security during the period 1978-1979. The necessity of this study is that despite structural changes in the tribal system, the cultural and identity ties of these regions continue to affect national cohesion and the recognition of the country's vulnerability to foreign threats. The main issue of the research is to explain the conflict between the "central narrative" (the tribe's threat perception) and the "peripheral reality" (the tribe's defense of its lifeworld). The research method is descriptive-analytical with a political sociology approach and a structuralist theoretical framework that uses the "Alaklang Qadr" model to qualitatively analyze historical sources. The research hypothesis is that, contrary to the official narrative of the Qajar and Pahlavi governments, the Boyer Ahmad tribe, although at times the source of local insecurity, has ultimately remained committed to Iran's national security and territorial integrity. The research findings show that the tribe's military confrontations with the central government were not due to divergence or separatism, but rather a rational reaction to restore balance to the balance of power and protect identity against authoritarian modernization. Historical evidence testifies that the Boyer Ahmad tribe distinguished between "anti-state" and "de-nationalism" and has always moved on the path of patriotism. Finally, the failure of the forced integration model during the Pahlavi period led to a change in the base of power from the "Ilkhani" institution
