This article is descriptive and analytical, and data collection has been used in data collection. The findings indicate that cultural diversity is formed in appropriate political and social contexts. Cultural diversity is recognized in Iran's constitution. Several principles of the constitution deal with the issue of culture and cultural rights, such as the right to free education, the right to freedom of communication and information, and the right to equality in enjoying all cultural rights. Cultural diversity in Iran's constitution includes three cultural elements, namely, language, religion and way of life. It seems that one of the challenges and problems facing cultural diversity is the non-recognition of cultural rights in an independent form and the non-allocation of a specific annual cultural budget from the government. The opportunity to consider cultural diversity, view cultural diversity as the foundation of security, adopt multicultural policies in general and multicultural education policies in particular, pay attention to social realities and intercultural sensitivities, intercultural communication, intercultural education and intercultural dialogue are among the most important It is a solution to strengthen cultural diversity in the Islamic Republic of Iran from the perspective of political sociology.
