Abstract

While the importance of intelligence battles in international conflicts is not obscured, achieving a relatively accurate definition of offensive approach to intelligence can help national security decisionmakers both defensively to identify intelligence’s attacks and design offensive strategies. In order to produce Persian-language literature on offensive intelligence, this study based on the evaluation of explicit Latin research with a descriptive-analytical method from library collection, attempts to explain the issue of offensive intelligence. Assessing the definitions of this approach in Western sources shows that offensive intelligence can be considered as a preemptive attack on the intelligence cycle resulting in the decision of the rival government or groups to design the playground according to its own interests. And leads to control or change the behavior of the rival. In an offensive approach to intelligence to change the balance of power, it is necessary to capture the pulse of the opponent's functional data in order to influence the enemy's plans and even direct them according to their own interests.
