After repeated defeats in the subversion project, the Americans sought to influence the Islamic Republic of Iran and decision-making organizations and security agencies like the armed forces. Therefore, this research has been conducted with the aim of explaining the enemy's soft penetration scenarios in personnel of military organizations. This applied research has been done in two phases by scanning scenario. In the first phase, the Supreme Leader's inquiries were reviewed and analyzed, and in the second phase, based on expert opinion, the enemy's scenarios were explained. The statistical population of the research in the first phase was all the statements of the leadership. In the second phase, 9 experts were selected using purposeful sampling method. In the first phase of the study, the data were collected through qualitative analysis of the Supreme Leader's statements and in the second phase, with the opinion of the experts the key factors were identified and finalized by the method of expertise. The research findings suggest that there are four categories of infiltration scenarios for the armed forces: widespread employee-level infiltration (with an emphasis on intellectual and cultural approach), network infiltration, Case-based infiltration in military decision-making centers (command and control levels) and case-level infiltration at the staff level.
