There are always some fans of a celebrity, sports team, or even a political candidate, who are considered ‘yellow fans’, i.e. those who cannot be identified as true believers but are actually ‘users'. So influencing them does not follow the orthodox methods. Perhaps like a short-term and occasional relationship that only limited to sexual intercourse, and the character and personality of the parties are not into question at all, while, and both are aware users. Of course, no mind is invulnerable and one's mental aperture (if discovered) is needed plus a few seconds to plant a seed. But all the techniques in this regard apply when one only wants to shoot at a mind or crack into it, not blowing up an intellectual bomb.
One of the traditional ways of promoting an idea or a new cultural thought is to present it, for instance, through celebrities. The rise of Facebook, Twitter and Instagram raised the hope for many that cultural and social leadership would move forward with greater speed and power. But the results of projects have been far from the hopes and expectations and have shown another face of reality. Although the long-term results may be more promising, but even the analysis of British programs has not shown different outcomes.
Anyway, changing people's minds doesn't necessarily change their lives. Even if people experience or enjoy some changes in their lives, they try to classify them among their own secrets. These secrets are their truth, but the reality of their lives is something else. And that's another problem that has been overlooked. Therefore, sometimes the success of a project in changing people's minds is not translated into the emergence of these changes publicly and openly. While what changes the world is not faith but action; what makes a society religious is merely the action of the people, even if most of it is pretension.
And what changes the culture throughout the ages is the change of order. As the political order in Afghanistan altered, the cultural order began to change: a period towards liberalism and then towards fundamentalism. Technology can change the order too. For example, Instagram alone has had a role in changing many people's lifestyles or habits, isn't it?!
So the question is, what technology or even innovations can govern the desired social order of the system?

Latin American: The People
The globalization of human rights, which has entered a new phase through the emergence of the doctrine of responsibility to protect, reinforces the notion that political and cultural borders cannot exempt states from fulfilling the human rights obligations. However, the idea of good global governance should not be limited to human rights. Some strategic and geopolitical resources have trans-regional and global value. Frontiers should not play the role of a fortress for failed states, especially if they are unable to properly manage these assets.
Latin America is one of those areas where much of its geopolitical capacity remains untouched. Nowadays, Latin America has no ideal among leftists and no hope through right-wing path. In such circumstances, the primary function of the economic problems is displayed: The people become masses and that includes the educated population. Everything is ready for the masses engineering.
Communists and Socialists have long fascinated Latin American cultural and social atmosphere, but today, after decades, an opportunity to re-engineer the masses in Latin America is just found. This opportunity can be used to run trial versions of the project that can be known as 'the system people' – the project that connects the system directly and indirectly to the people. And it is worth mentioning, the internationalist essence of the system and its unique approach upon human rights and security are all in line with the needs of Latin America.
Everything must be clear over modeling process of masses engineering and therefore, there is no need to say that for instance, a "Noam Chomsky" is enough to find out how many people in society are interested in a certain lifestyle, idea, and style of civil struggle. It is not required to focus on one model. The main investment should be concentrate on ideas. Various social and cultural models can be presented through individuals, groups and other ways to discover the most applicable ones. Eventually, based on the data, one can combine the best variables and present the final version that should act as the Trojan horse of the system.

The People
People believe that the god is merciful but they have mostly disregard the fact that there is a difference between god, human and even a dog (!) over this very characteristic. People need sinners to remove some other sinners they dislike to keep their own hands away from anything filthy and bloody.
However, the system can provide anything they need to believe all they are pretending; to find themselves as liberal or even as someone religious without even challenging their faith in confronting with the real world. The system is everything that people want. Still they cannot believe that it is the reflection of their true will.
If people are to actually become partakers of power someday, they must be able to accept their responsibilities mentally and practically. Fortunately, people today are more aware than ever. Many taboos and stereotypes have been broken and technology has accelerated the intellectual and cultural evolution of society. Therefore, it is possible to gradually make people familiar and ready over realistic and pragmatic ways of dealing with current and upcoming threats. As a result, the system would be able to openly take the greatest steps toward its objectives.

Iran: Economic War
The Islamic Republic of Iran has formed its policies based on a warfare strategy so that every single issue could be addressed in this way including disputes with the Washington, Tel Aviv or even domestic concerns over human rights, environment, and educational system. This toxic perspective toward everything may endanger everyone in and out of this regime. The world community is seeking the removal of this strategy from the decision-making table of Tehran.
In this regard, the nuclear deal was going to be an introduction and not even a chapter for the new story of the Middle East. But the Islamic Republic has demonstrated that it is not ready for playing its part in the new game of the region.
Anyway, all roads lead to Rome but the Iranian government is just as unaware of the big picture as Iraq's Saddam was. However, what ruined Iraqi dictatorship was more than a decade of harsh sanctions and economic war against Baghdad. And it is exactly what should be launched and its continuity is ensured against Tehran. And there is no need to add that sanctions are only an old and sometimes even symbolic means of economic war; an all-out economic war is needed.

Israel-Palestine: Possible Peace
After decades, Israel and Saudi Arabia as the leading actors of the Middle East, both have indicated true will for governing peace over Israeli-Arab relations in the region. Still, reaching a steady peace between Israel and Palestine definitely requires semi-withdrawal by both parties from their unrealistic positions. However, the lack of common understanding among the involved parties could waste hours of dialogues and frustrate any plans.
Above all plans and dealings, it must be considered that conservatism is not only the spirit of cultural and political structures of Arab nations but a symbolic criterion of power. Therefore, it is no surprise to find out that changes can only slowly take place in such societies. In sum, Arab states are not ready for great and rapid changes. So it must be figured out that the mere common interests would not lead to a dialogue with common understanding in respect to the mentioned issue. Keep this logic in mind, for making any progress in a traditional society, one should always have an "undo" option, otherwise, the fear of transition from the status quo would hold the society from moving forward.
Therefore, no new element is entered unless by taking the appearance of old and known ones; the change would not be made unless it is infiltrated. For instance, temporary dealings like de facto recognition of Israeli and Palestinian states by both sides can give the confidence to Arabs that changes will not necessarily steady or irreversible.

Iran: An Unwanted War
To avoid an unwanted war, a comprehensive war plan must be provided.
As it was predicted, Tehran is trying to get a war for its nation. And it is essential to acknowledge the fact that the element of the time takes side with the host country in a conflict, and therefore, "buying some time" is no option for the US government. One can take over the crown in a short time just like Iraq and Libya wars, otherwise, it would be gone for good like many other wars in Vietnam, Syria, Yemen and even the 8-year-war between Iran and Iraq. So in case of lack of victory, it is most convenient for the White House to prepare a list of secondary objectives to be able to safeguard its prestige by accomplishing them.
And in this regard, the Iranian regime may try to develop the battlefield to areas beyond the country in order to make the U.S. switch its position from offensive to defensive. The best solution to deal with the potential threat is to launch attacks against the capital and other strategic cities that are capable to quickly become guerrilla operations centers in order to trigger a civil war at the same time. Meanwhile, the role of public diplomacy must not be neglected.

Tehran: A War Plan
2006 Lebanon War has always been an ideal model of war before the Islamic Republic of Iran and at the current time, the regime is trying to provoke the U.S. in order to launch such a war; a short-term conflict.
Iranian leaders have believed that they are able to resist against a short-term war while they are hopeful that the political and economic considerations of Trump administration would restrain a long-term war. For sure, the ultimate winner of a short term-war with all of their desired parameters would not be Tehran since it would leave devastating damages for the Iranian government. Anyway, as everyone knows, Tehran has never had any long-term vision and a short-term victory is all it needs. So, a short-term war would not be a proper option.
At these critical moments, some find no way but a long-term war and some other is seeking for a negotiation.
First, a tempting long-term war is not acceptable. Such a war could occupy a large portion of the U.S. military, politically and economic concentration and it definitely would be a gift to Russia and China. Bear this in mind, the U.S. involvement in the Afghanistan and Iraq wars, and consequently, the vacuum of its power in the global balance of power was one of the main causes of re-emergence of the Kremlin's threats in the world area.
Secondly, a negotiation at this point of time is just like a lottery but it is important to keep the upper hand.
Three leverages can be assumed against current threats of Iran including economic war, covert war and resorting the UN Security Council and International Law to form multilateral measures against Tehran, which would be more possible in the next weeks.
