Cognitive warfare is an emerging and complex domain within modern hybrid warfare that targets human perception and cognition through digital technologies, social media, and psychological operations. In recent years, the Islamic Republic of Iran has been increasingly subjected to such warfare, particularly during the 2022 unrest, when adversaries used targeted content, information saturation, and the illusion of majority to disrupt public cognitive coherence. This study seeks to answer the question: What are the effective strategies for enhancing cognitive resilience against cognitive warfare targeting Iran? The research employs a descriptive-analytical method using library resources, including domestic and international literature. The theoretical framework is based on a combination of cognitive-behavioral and indigenous socio-cultural approaches. Core components of cognitive resilience—such as media literacy, critical thinking, cognitive self-efficacy, mental flexibility, and stress management—form the basis of analysis. The findings reveal key challenges including insufficient media literacy education, lack of indigenous digital platforms, and weak institutionalization of narrative-based resistance (Jihad of Clarification). Accordingly, the study proposes strategic interventions such as enhancing cognitive education, promoting media sovereignty, institutionalizing proactive communication strategies, and establishing psychological support systems. If effectively implemented, these solutions could significantly strengthen Iran’s cognitive resilience against ongoing hybrid and cognitive threats.

Identity is a collection of individual and social characteristics, emotions, and thoughts, and it is one of the key contemporary issues for women, shaped within the context of society.

As the modern world is deeply intertwined with advanced communication technologies, especially the internet and virtual space, the identity transformations of women in cyberspace are worth examining. This research, conducted using a descriptive-analytical method, aims to explore the positive and negative impacts of virtual space on the life and identity of Muslim women. Based on findings from various studies and the results of this research, it can be concluded that while virtual space offers numerous benefits and advantages, improper use can lead to many challenges and harms, from which women’s identity is not immune. To address the negative consequences of virtual space, the study proposes solutions rooted in Islamic teachings. Ultimately, media literacy, self-awareness, and piety are identified as the most important elements in addressing the challenges posed by virtual space to women's identity.

Simultaneously with the widespread outbreak of the Corona virus in late 2019, which swept the countries one after another, a wealth of true and false information pervaded the societies of these countries. The wave was so large that media experts used the term "infodemic" to refer to it. The ignorance of the exact function of the virus by experts, its rapid spread, and the high speed of dissemination of sometimes inaccurate information through social networks have caused confusion and anxiety among citizens in many countries. Meanwhile, reliable media of some countries, including Iran, tried to take over the news authority at the community level and, with measures, take the initiative at the media level against this information pandemic. But one of the reasons that this information pandemic spread so successfully in some cases was the poor media and information literacy of the citizens in the host communities. This vulnerability and its unforeseen consequences are a reminder of the undeniable need to increase information and media literacy as essential life skills of citizens in the present age. Therefore, in this study, after describing the phenomenon called "infodemic ", strengthening media literacy and information literacy will be mentioned as a vital solution against its dominance.

This article addresses the main question of how cyberspace policymaking in Iran can be modified in order to achieve the desired goals in the country's upstream documents. So, the intention is to analyze cyberspace policymaking in the Islamic Republic of Iran. The study suggests that the major policy-making in this regard is both positive and negative. In the meantime, negative policies with mechanisms such as, deterrent planning in the field of legislation, clearing of virtual space (including blocking and filtering) and positive policies with mechanisms such as production and content management, increased Media literacy and immunization based on localization have been implemented in the country. However, the desperate failure of building a National Information Network as the communication infrastructure of the country's cyberspace, the failure to produce appropriate internal content and the increase of media literacy in the country which are all mechanisms for implementing positive policymaking in the country, in addition to the inadequacy of the rules set out in the field of cyberspace and the failure of the filtering project due to the inefficiency of blocking and filtering tools, we witness an inefficiency in policy making and the lack of strategic, principled and technical planning and management. There is a need for a long-term control of cyber space in the country and to reform the cyber space policy in IRA on the way to achieving most of the goals outlined in the country's upstream documents; this requires changing the existing balance from a negative and a directive perspective to a positive and bottom-up perspective.
