The Strategy of the Enemy's Soft Threats and its Impact on Cultural Transformation (An Emphasis on Supreme Leader's Guidelines)

Cultural transformation is considered as one of the signs of the countries and political parties’ failed strategic goals. Any country, exposed to the power and security-focused action, needs to optimize its position through cultural, social, political, and security discourses. The enemy always strives to expand its threat on target societies in the first step and on the whole world in the second. By taking advantages from their superior technology as well as communication and media power, the enemy implements the new colonial policies. In recent decades, the Supreme Leader has repeatedly referred to the enemy’s soft threats. He has declared that the Islamic culture and ethics are the goals of the enemy by the soft threat in the country which some did not believe and still do not believe, moreover, he believes that the enemy wants to transfer their tendencies to the thoughts and beliefs of our nation. Through expanding the wrong culture and the culture of corruption and prostitution, the enemy seeks to take our youth from us. The cultural activities of the enemy not only is a kind of "cultural invasion," but one must say that a "cultural depredation" and a "cultural mass murder". The present study aims to explain the enemy’s soft threat strategy and the way it affects the transformation of the country's culture through documentary-descriptive and analytical method focusing on the thought of the Supreme Leader based on his lectures delivered in recent decades.
