The thesis explained how the world&#8217;s changes, particularly advancements in communication technology and the ease of information access, have led countries to seek sources that enhance their influence through non-military means, such as cultural, ideological, economic, and diplomatic factors. It focused on the emergence of what is known as soft war, which gained attention after 2003 due to frequent events in the region and was actively promoted in the speeches of Iran&#8217;s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. The thesis highlighted Iran&#8217;s strategic use of ideology and the export of the Islamic revolution to ensure domestic stability and regional influence through the activation of soft war tactics, positioning Iran strategically in regional balances of power and international equations. It also mentioned Iran&#8217;s challenges and its adaptation to modern tools and methods to achieve its goals. The conclusion emphasized Iran&#8217;s significance in regional and global strategies, especially post-2003, amidst shifts caused by events like the US invasion of Iraq, which created strategic vacuums in the region and prompted Iran to consider regional expansion following the overthrow of the Taliban in 2002. The researcher was awarded a Ph.D. degree with a &#8220;very high&#8221; distinction, wishing success to all students.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2348 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/en.copolicy.uobaghdad.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/95\/2024\/04\/436470253_431904836158785_4531237169041265998_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en.copolicy.uobaghdad.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/95\/2024\/04\/436470253_431904836158785_4531237169041265998_n.jpg 750w, https:\/\/en.copolicy.uobaghdad.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/95\/2024\/04\/436470253_431904836158785_4531237169041265998_n-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/en.copolicy.uobaghdad.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/95\/2024\/04\/436470253_431904836158785_4531237169041265998_n-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2349 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/en.copolicy.uobaghdad.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/95\/2024\/04\/437523895_431904886158780_1832694345613040073_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en.copolicy.uobaghdad.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/95\/2024\/04\/437523895_431904886158780_1832694345613040073_n.jpg 750w, https:\/\/en.copolicy.uobaghdad.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/95\/2024\/04\/437523895_431904886158780_1832694345613040073_n-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/en.copolicy.uobaghdad.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/95\/2024\/04\/437523895_431904886158780_1832694345613040073_n-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2350 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/en.copolicy.uobaghdad.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/95\/2024\/04\/434650958_431904882825447_9108692663129337782_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"459\" srcset=\"https:\/\/en.copolicy.uobaghdad.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/95\/2024\/04\/434650958_431904882825447_9108692663129337782_n.jpg 750w, https:\/\/en.copolicy.uobaghdad.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/95\/2024\/04\/434650958_431904882825447_9108692663129337782_n-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/en.copolicy.uobaghdad.edu.iq\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/95\/2024\/04\/434650958_431904882825447_9108692663129337782_n-600x367.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The College of Political Science at the University of Baghdad discussed a doctoral thesis entitled &#8220;The Principle of Soft War &#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":23,"featured_media":2348,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[11,12],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2347","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-archives","category-graduate-studies-discussions"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
