The transformation in the nature of power has also led to the transformation in the nature of wars; If the hard war is realized by occupying the land, weakening or subverting a political system by using military tools, the soft war by affecting the perceptions, cognitive system, beliefs and values of a nation, challenges the thought and model of the country's administration. Media techniques are among the most important methods used in soft war; through narration, the media shape the minds of the audience or change their cognitive system and replace them with new beliefs and values and in this way direct their individual and social behaviors and actions. In this article, we seek to find an answer to the question that in the media examined in this research, that is; The Farsi section of the BBC News Network, the Persian section of Radio Free Europe known as Radio Farda, and the Farsi section of the Voice of America - what image of the relationship between ethnic groups and the political structure do they reflect? the method of collecting information based on library study and searching on the news network sites; BBC, Radio Farda and Voice of America in a ten-year period 1391-1401. Quantitative and qualitative content analysis methods have been used to analyze the content. It seems that the plan of systematic discrimination is the most important agenda of the investigated media, so that it is possible to deepen the gaps and turn differences and distinctions into conflicts.
