Recruitment via Ideology and Force
The article discusses Iran's strategy to strengthen its regional influence through recruiting individuals and escalating ideological loyalties. It does not rely solely on military power but also on reshaping individuals’ consciousness and transforming them into long-term tools to implement its vision. An example of this is the "Tawabi" file during the Iran-Iraq war, where Iraqi prisoners were exploited and reoriented ideologically and politically to fight against their homeland and become part of an Iranian project that crosses borders. This reflects that Iran is betting on cultivating lasting loyalties more than immediate military results. The article also emphasizes that this policy targets the intellectual infrastructure of societies, aiming to impose a political loyalty that extends beyond borders and to control national identity, thereby threatening the stability and unity of the targeted countries.
