Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to present general strategies for countering soft war by the national media in line with the realization of the Second Step Manifesto of the Islamic Revolution. Given the importance of the national media as one of the main tools for building culture and confronting the enemy’s soft threats, this research examines the role of the national media in strengthening revolutionary identity, explaining the goals of the revolution, and confronting the enemy’s cultural influence.
Methodology: The study method is descriptive-analytical, which was carried out by analyzing the content of the Second Step Manifesto of the Revolution and examining texts related to the policies and missions of the national media. In this method, data has been extracted and then analyzed by collecting official documents, statements, and related media texts to identify effective and practical strategies for countering soft war.
Findings: The research findings show that the national media can play a key role in neutralizing soft threats by strengthening religious and revolutionary beliefs, promoting a culture of resistance, increasing the audience's media literacy, and producing promising content. Also, utilizing new technologies and social networks as new platforms for information and propaganda is of great importance. By avoiding creating despair and strengthening national unity, the national media will pave the way for social cohesion and increasing cultural resistance against enemy aggression.
Originality: The results of this study emphasize that in order to effectively counter soft war, careful and strategic planning in the national media is essential, and the realization of the goals of the Second Step of the Revolution statement depends on the intelligent management of the country's media and cultural space. This can lead to the preservation of the Islamic-Iranian identity and the promotion of the country's soft security.
