Critical Review of the Psychological Operation (PSYOP) of the American Media Regarding the Human Rights Issue: With an Emphasis on the Baluches in Iran

One of the most effective tools of PSYOP for the United States is "media" in order to achieve its colonial goals in target countries without military confrontation. On the other hand, after the incident of September 11, the United States has focused its attention on "human rights" and the use of the "ethnicity" issue against the Islamic Republic of Iran. The status of religious minorities and the rights of ethnic groups in Iran is one of the main issues of human rights that the United States is chasing in its media in order to disturb not only Iran’s political stability and territorial integrity, but also create and intensify the internal crisis .The present paper along with defining the human rights considers the role of the United States in promoting its goals through the use of psychological operation in ethnic groups to create crisis and even "proclamation of autonomy and separation" and examines the use of this advertising tool in the media about the Baloch race. In this research, it has been attempted to make to explain the US's instrumental use of the human rights against Iran by employing the critical theory of the Frankfurt School.
