The Islamic Revolution of Iran represents not merely a political transformation but a civilizational leap and cultural renaissance that emerged with the aim of establishing justice, freedom, and spirituality in society and the world. This revolution, inspired by the liberating teachings of pure Mohammedan Islam and relying on the will and faith of the people, challenged the system of domination and arrogance while presenting a new model of governance based on divine and popular values. However, the complete realization of the Islamic Revolution’s lofty ideals requires continuous jihad or struggle, unceasing effort, and forward-looking movement in all areas. This jihad is not merely a military struggle but a comprehensive battle in cultural, economic, political, and social domains that requires insight, vigilance, and firm determination, as our country’s enemies employ every tactic to strike and create threats against our nation in their hybrid warfare campaign.
For instance, the Wall Street Journal, in its recent report which exemplifies a perception operation, began inflicting damage to our country’s image in global and regional perception with the headline “A Weakened Iran.” This report and similar ones that have prominently featured the keyword “Iran is Weakened” in their recent headlines are attempting to implement the “broken window” theory in the minds of regional and trans-regional audiences regarding our country and the Axis of Resistance. According to the theory, by presenting an image of weakness and vulnerability of a country, other regional and trans-regional actors with malicious intentions can be encouraged to take provocative actions against that country
