The present article seeks to explain the relationship between soft warfare and cultural security in the Islamic Republic of Iran. The author's main question is sometimes how soft warfare plays a role in undermining cultural security. Acculturalization, dissemination and imposition of lifestyle, alienation and incitement of generational gaps using media tools help to transform cultural security Findings show that based on the theoretical framework presented in this article, cultural security is the product of adaptation It is between the three levels of elites, the people and the government, and the incompatibility and lack of planning between these three levels is the source of cultural insecurity and epistemological instability. Strengthening the elites, including religious, political and cultural elites, play an important role in deepening the forms of values and beliefs and turning them into behavioral symbols, shaping the mentality and behavior of the people of the society in providing cultural security.
