Imam Khomeini and War Propaganda Dr Khalil Bahrami Qasrchami1

After the Islamic revolution of Iran, world powers opposed Iran in various ways, such as supporting the Iraqi regime in the imposed war against Iran. The great founder and leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Imam Khomeini, adopted a clever and sensible stance throughout the years of Defa’-e Muqaddas (Holy Defense) to oppose the war propaganda of the enemy. A careful analysis of his stance and measures seems to be of great importance here. The present paper aims to study the management of war propaganda as an important component of the “grand strategy” of every country at the time of the war, in order to demonstrate that without an efficient management of war propaganda, the commanders of war cannot manage the military affairs. Some thinkers hold that war propaganda is the most important part of military tactics, strategies and logistics.
