Abstract

The use and influence of political life and international relations has a long history, but the theory of software development has formed a new discourse in which the strategic concept of influence and its practices are reconsidered, reconstructed and reproduced, resulting in a new face. It has shaped the influence that is far more effective and effective in changing behavior and structure than ever before. This new form of influence has introduced a new paradigm of US conflict with the Islamic Republic of Iran. Therefore, the main purpose of this research is to understand the nature of infiltration in the software age with emphasis on the new phase of enemy soft attacks in the political sphere of the Islamic Republic of Iran. To achieve this goal, a descriptive-analytical method was used and data collection was based on scientific documents. Given the fundamental changes in power in the era of soft discourse, traditional influence cannot explain the enemy's opposition to the Islamic Republic of Iran. In this age, penetration has developed from hard to soft, from narrow to broad, from very complex to simple to complex, and governments are witnessing new patterns of influence such as basic, seductive, gravitational, and identity-based influence.
