The growing need to study the human mind—both as a requirement for the advancement of knowledge and as a means of understanding and influencing mental processes—led to the establishment of cognitive science in leading universities worldwide. With the development of this field, the concept of war also underwent a significant transformation, shifting from conventional military confrontation based on physical threats to more complex and indirect forms. In today’s world, many conflicts are framed less as territorial wars and more as social, psychological, and ideological threats. These changes are largely driven by the expansion of mass media, digital communication networks, and technological innovation, giving rise to what is known as cognitive warfare. This article examines the role of cognitive warfare in the emergence of security crises in the Islamic Republic of Iran. The central question is: what role do instability and influence play in the formation of security crises? To answer this question, the study adopts a qualitative approach using thematic analysis and semi-structured interviews with 10 experts and university professors in the fields of security and crisis studies, selected through the snowball method. The findings show that within the instability variable, intensifying internal tensions, failure to meet public demands, weak governmental decisiveness, and declining legitimacy have the strongest impact. Within the influence variable, creating conflict in beliefs, shaping public perception, and promoting despair and hopelessness play the most significant roles in the formation of security crises.
