Abstract:
Soft war is considered a serious threat to the cultural and value systems since it targets the underlying cultural foundation and identity of political systems and attempts to fulfill its predefined goals through a socio-cultural transformation process. Legitimacy decline, concerns of the world public opinion, growth of warmongering costs, extension of military expeditions, etc. associated with hard war have led to the selection and utilization of soft policies and cultural conflicts during the last few decades. Accordingly, after several decades, the enemies of the Islamic Republic of Iran came to the conclusion that they cannot deal with the Islamic system using military mechanisms, but rather they have to rely on soft, cultural projects so that they can fulfill their goals more easily reducing financial losses and casualties. For this reason, using the analytical-descriptive method, this paper attempts to look into soft war as a dangerous threat against the Islamic Republic of Iran and explicate the views of the Supreme Leader, Imam Khamenei, on soft war case by case. The findings suggest that, from the viewpoint of the Supreme Leader, the soft war coping strategies include such issues as acknowledgement of the existence of soft war, knowing the enemies, avoiding internal conflicts and maintaining unity and integrity, setting up free-thinking circles, enhancement of insight as a compass for dealing with soft war, cultural engineering, boosting selfconfidence and self-esteem and reinforcement of social capitals.
