National Security and Nuclear Diplomacy (Persian: امنیت ملی و دیپلماسی هسته‌ای) is the memoir of Hassan Rouhani, the former President of Iran and the first secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council. Rouhani led Iran's nuclear case under President Mohammad Khatami as tensions began to escalate over Iran's nuclear program. Approximately two years after the book was published in 2011, Rouhani was elected as President of Iran on 15 June 2013.[1][2] The book focuses on Iran's nuclear program and challenges to it by Western countries, especially the United States and three European countries of France, Germany and the United Kingdom. The book covers a period of 678 days (from October 6, 2003, to August 15, 2005) when Rouhani and his team were handling Iran's nuclear case. Furthermore, the history of Iran's nuclear technology and the process of achieving complete nuclear fuel cycle are major topics of the book.

National Security and Nuclear Diplomacy is the first book written by a leader of Iran's nuclear negotiating team. Other memoirs have been also published on Iran's nuclear case including by Mohamed ElBaradei[3] (former Director-General of IAEA), Joschka Fischer[4] (former German foreign minister), Jack Straw[5] (former British foreign secretary), and Hossein Mousavian[6] (a former member of Iran's nuclear negotiating team).
