Nournews: Western Asia is still the main center for global geopolitical developments.
Multidimensional wars by the West and its allies against Syria have not only affected the entire region but also impacted the international system.
Meanwhile, cognitive warfare, as an important tool, along with military and economic warfare, has been used to seek goals beyond the borders of Syria.
Investigating the aspects and dimensions of cognitive warfare that the West and sympathetic media are pursuing to support the political and security approaches of the domination system in Syria can help achieve a better understanding of ongoing field and diplomatic developments in this country.
Fear-mongering and stabilization of occupation
The West and the Zionist regime are trying to force people and nations of the region to embrace occupation and domination by creating an atmosphere of fear and intimidation.
Claims about the return of ISIS's power in Syria and military threats against Iran by the Zionist regime are part of these attempts.
This fear-mongering is trying to justify crimes and occupations, preparing the ground for the establishment of the desired despotic order of the West in Syria by whitewashing armed groups still on the United Nations’ terrorist list.
Discord and division creation
The West has always used the tool of sowing discord among nations and regional currents to advance its goals. Updating controversial scenarios like Arab-Persian conflict, Sunni-Shia division, and magnifying proxy forces as the causes of crises are part of this approach. The main goal of this approach is to weaken the Resistance Front and reinforce figures affiliated with the West, such as the terrorist group al-Tahrir al-Sham.
Creation of disappointment and devaluation of the Resistance
Enemies and ill-wishers of the region’s nations seek to instill disappointment among people and governments. Attempts to display a failed image of the Resistance Front and create the perception that compromise with the Zionist regime is the only solution, along with tarnishing the achievements of the Resistance and displaying a distorted image of it, are another part of this cognitive warfare. Western media are playing the role of foot soldiers, trying to present a tarnished image of the Resistance by monopolizing narratives.
Resistance; the main challenge of the West
The West is trying to ignore the belief-based and popular nature of the Resistance. From Lebanon's Hezbollah and Hamas to the Resistance in Yemen and Iraq, all these groups have been formed based on deep beliefs and people’s convictions. Meanwhile, the West, by distorting reality, is trying to show that Iran’s reactive capabilities regarding the evildoings of the Zionist regime are tied to proxy forces.
However, the Islamic Republic of Iran has always shown that it is able to respond directly to threats and does not need proxy forces.
Dynamism of the Resistance and the failure of Western narratives
The recent developments in Gaza, Lebanon, Yemen, and Iraq indicate the West's failure in weakening the Resistance Front. The failure of the Zionist regime in achieving its goals and having no choice but to accept a truce, the strong actions of Yemen against aggressors, and the successful attacks of Iraqi resistance against the Zionist regime testify to the dynamism of the Resistance.
The West can never stabilize its domination in the region by media tools and cognitive warfare. The resistance of the region is rooted in the deep beliefs of its people, and the course of developments shows that the future will be brighter than the past. The awakening of the nations and the formation of new resistance cells will neutralize the West’s plans and challenge the domination system.
