Abstract
This article examines the challenges faced by American politicians during the ninth presidential election in Iran. The author highlights the interplay between domestic and international developments, analyzing the strategies employed by the United States and the West in response to Iran's elections. Pre-election challenges included negative propaganda, psychological operations, and efforts to reduce public participation, while post-election efforts focused on discrediting the identity and structure of Iran's new government. The study reveals how the U.S. utilized propaganda and psychological tools to influence election outcomes and isolate Iran internationally.
