In recent years, the United States has imposed unprecedented sanctions on the Islamic Republic by exerting additional pressure on Iran's nuclear program. In addition, through its propaganda agencies, it has tried to make the world's public opinion sensitive to Iran and portray a warlike image of the country in the minds of the world. The way out of the current atmosphere and thwart US political and diplomatic strategies seems to be to take advantage of the Islamic Republic's soft power-generating components. In this regard, public diplomacy can be used as a tool of the Islamic Republic's soft power to positively and truly portray public opinion in the world. Some theorists believe that the only way to contain Iran through US soft power is to pay less and get better and faster results. Throughout its experience of the ideological and cultural nature and function of the Islamic Republic of Iran system, the US government has realized that the essence, nature, power and power of Iran is primarily focused on soft, cultural, and value abilities. For this reason, along with its approach to sanctions, threats and economic and political pressures, the country has taken a soft tack and has sought to weaken the Islamic Republic of Iran's belief system as a key strategy.
