Nightly Gatherings Trap Enemy in Confusion
Mashhad – Nightly gatherings that have continued for seven months have trapped the enemy in a quagmire of confusion. By playing the role of a civilian shield, they have foiled cognitive warfare and the schemes of opponents seeking to separate the people from the state.
Sefir Arjan - Provinces Group, Atefeh Wafaian: Night gatherings is the story of the meeting of wills that have sheltered each other beyond the noise of the times. The hands that are connected to the warmth of presence in the cold of doubt and the eyes that are fixed on the clear horizon, portray a pure manifestation of the unbreakable bond of people who, like a standing mountain, have built rocks of peace and trust together, amidst the turbulence of the waves and the relentless onslaught of storms.
At a time when rumors and dust of fear try to make a breach in the beliefs and conquer the tired soul of the society, this calm and conscious presence builds a strong barrier against the turbulences.
The pyramid faces that sit together under the shelter of the black night, remove the rust of fear and apprehension from the life of the city and show that the peace of this land is not a fake product, but a living and inborn spark that originates from the depth of awareness and empathy.
The cries and whispers of the revolutionary people are rooted in a history that is mixed with oppression and zeal; A spirit that does not show surrender and passivity and does not turn a blind eye to its main mission in the eyes of unkindness and shortcomings. This is the lasting sense of entitlement that has flowed through the arteries of this land from breast to breast and generation to generation, so as not to allow the truth to be forgotten and the knowledge of a good man to fall to the ground for a moment.
The continued presence of the enemy's people has put them in danger of doubt and confusion
Hojjatul-Islam Nasrallah Pejmanfar, the head of the Commission on Principle 90 of the Islamic Council, in a conversation with the Mehr reporter, said about the importance of the continuation of night gatherings and its achievements after more than 200 days: the necessity and effects of these night gatherings are clearly visible today; The enemy is still in an atmosphere of hesitance and doubt as to what action to take in order to save himself from this danger.
The Chairman of the Commission on Article 90 of the Islamic Council added: This situation shows the high effectiveness of the people's presence. Despite all the threats and predictions made by the internal deviant currents, hypocrites, foreign opposition currents and neighboring countries who were stubborn with us, the enemy could not achieve his goal of creating a distance between the people and the government, and the result of this stand will undoubtedly be victory and victory.
Stating that the existing conditions require the presence of people on the stage, he clarified: Alhamdulillah, our faithful and revolutionary people did not pay attention to any of the marginal issues, shortcomings and weaknesses that are sometimes caused by mismanagement in the field of performance and unfortunately, they did not leave the field empty.
Pejmanfar said: This spirit is caused by the sense of bloodlust and revenge, which will never be extinguished and ineffective in the hearts of our people. Our people are the same society that, during nearly 1400 years, against the oppression of Ashura day, they have always held red flags in their hands throughout the year and shouted "Ya Lasharat al-Hussein", so they will never forget issues like this.
The representative of the people of Mashhad and Kalat in the Islamic Council pointed out: Today, people are standing next to each other and the memory of leadership and values will not leave the community's mind. We will avenge our martyred Imam in any way, we will not get tired and despair, and understanding this mission, we will always be on the stage to avenge the blood of our martyred Imam, God willing, and we will continue this path from generation to generation until the complete realization of revenge.
night gatherings; Spontaneous defensive strategy in neutralizing the enemy's cognitive warfare
Mohammad Mehdi Latifi, a member of the National Elite Foundation, explained the current developments in the country in a conversation with the Mehr reporter and stated: What is going on in Iran in the current period is beyond a military, security or economic conflict. We are in the middle of a full-scale campaign of psychological operations, information warfare, and cognitive warfare, the ultimate goal of which is not to dominate the land, but to conquer minds and shape collective perceptions, attitudes, and behaviors.
A member of the National Elite Foundation pointed to the enemy's three strategic goals in this project and added: first, to induce a sense of defeat and to establish the belief in defeat in public opinion; Second, scaring the society in a way that leads to emotional behaviors such as capital flight, hoarding and business closure; And third, reducing the resilience of the society against the next blow from a limited operation to a massive war is one of the enemy's goals. In the meantime, night gatherings as a spontaneous, conscious and collaborative defense strategy play an irreplaceable role in neutralizing this plan and act as a "defense social capital".
He called the strengthening of national solidarity and community around the flag as the first essential function of these gatherings and said: night gatherings by showing unity and empathy, thwart this plan and send a clear message to the enemy that Iranian society is not scattered and resists the enemy's efforts to polarize.
Latifi considered countering fear and excitement as the second most important function of these gatherings and stated: the enemy seeks to create emotional behaviors by spreading false news, but night gatherings reduce this fear by creating a calm and hopeful atmosphere and act as a collective emotional regulation mechanism.
The member of the National Elite Foundation listed the prevention of carnivalization and rioting as the third vital function and noted: Peaceful night gatherings, by occupying the public space in a measured way, take the permission of the enemy to create carnivals and act as a "civil shield".
He listed increasing the resilience of society, neutralizing psychological and intelligence warfare, and turning threats into opportunities as other functions of these gatherings and emphasized: maintaining peace is the most key element of Iran's national security today, and the society is one step ahead of the authorities; People are aware of themselves and if you see something suspicious, you should inform them to prevent possible dangers.
The continuation of night gatherings breaks the imposed norm of the rule system
Hojjat-ul-Islam Seyyed Shahab Ghafurian, director of the International Islamic Propaganda Department, in explaining the necessity of continuing the night gatherings, stated: From the point of view of political science and crisis management, night in the security literature of the regime is the time to apply the policy of "inducing despair, silence and passivity" and the enemy tries to weaken the target communities by pumping the media around the clock. Therefore, the continuation of night gatherings in the first place is breaking this imposed norm and announcing permanent presence.
Emphasizing that the night gatherings keep the pulse of the square alive, the Director of the Islamic Propaganda Department of Benalud added: The Islamic Revolution is linked to the culture of political night life and struggle, and the continuation of these gatherings prevents the normalization of the conditions of the enemy's combined war, and by faithfully attending at night, it restores and strengthens the social capital and intra-group solidarity of the Revolutionary Front.
He said about the tangible strategic achievements of these gatherings in the surrounding areas and cities such as the Basir region of Targah-Shandiz: In a situation where the enemy sought to create a gap between the people and the government by spreading rumors and psychological warfare, these gatherings, as bases of face-to-face clarification, clarified the line of right and wrong and became a platform for the young generation to come out of intellectual marginalization and become active activists in the field of Jihad, explaining and supporting Become a resistance front.
Ghafoorian clarified: the nightly presence of the Hezbollah community has disrupted the thinking room of arrogance and displays the message of constant readiness and security vigilance of the internal front; As the memory of the presence of an old man with his grandson in the cold of the night proves that the gatherings are governed by "divine awakening nature" and the shadow of threats and sanctions can never overcome the light of insight of this nation.
