Strategy, tactic, management, and leadership together with war planning and direction, organization, psychological warfare, and war diplomacy encompass the art of war. Sun Tzu, a Chinese thinker of the 6th century BC, was the first person to discuss the Art of War. This research aimed to analyze his opinions on this topic and evaluate the military performance of the Messenger of God (SAW) based on his theory. Additionally, the present research tried to elucidate the strategic military of the Prophet (SAW) as a successful commander, stating that his proficiency was not acquired through formal military training or the teachings of renowned thinkers. The research question concerns identifying the extent to which the Prophet's performance in the war fields was consistent with Sun Tzu's thoughts on the art of war. This research, conducted using a historical and analytical approach and relying on data from ancient historical sources and an analysis of Sun Tzu's book entitled The Art of War, reveals that successful military strategies of the Prophet (SAW) can be attributed to the practical application of the principles and fundamentals of the art of war. There are numerous parallels between his strategy and the ideas of this renowned strategist.

The recent war between the United States and Iraq is crucial. First, it introduces us to modern military thought around the world and provides a powerful tool for upgrading its military heart and related techniques. This incident caused different views to be expressed and an excuse to express opinions and research. Second, the narrative-analytical study of each military event is part of the "indirect experience" that any military or those interested in the science and art of war need to improve their skills. Military knowledge and the art of war have been taught over the years in formal and informal discourse and education, but perhaps several generations of people in the country have failed to put it to the test in real life, and this is the fundamental difference between this science and other disciplines. This article tries to cover some of the situation and some logistical functions of the US military in the form of a battle scene.

Claude Caen, the writer of this part of comprehensive "War" entry in the "Encyclopedia of Islam" - other parts of which are dedicated to war in Iran, Ottoman Empire, India, and Egypt in the Mamluk period and which are complemented with a large number of related articles such as jihad, army, fortification, war room, gunpowder etc. - deals with the technique and art of war in the period of the Islamic Caliphate (from the beginning to the end of 7th century A.H.). While briefly studying the influence of war-related literature in pre-Islamic civilizations such as Persia, Greece, and India and the transter of these civilization's experiences to the Muslim World; he also talks about various elements involved in a classic war including declaration of war, mobilization and equipment of troops, command and control, espionage and counter - espionage, maintenace of morale, fighting organization, armamentes, support and logistics, strategic issues, the stationing of forces and security and vigilance in the camp, offensive and defensive plans, counterattack, ambush, siege, tactical retreat, booty and its division among troops, conquest accounts and victory celebrations, prisoners of war, truce and conclusion of a peace accord, and finally guerrilla warfare.

This research purpose is to answer the question of how the discourse of social commitment in contemporary art of the world has presented itself and how is it manifested in the way of expressing works of art? In a descriptive-analytical method, it has studied the process of formation of the discourse of social commitment in the contemporary art of the Western world and its manifestation in the art of war and peace. As a result, much of contemporary world art has embraced the discourse of social commitment; But the place and role of political and social commitment in art has been fundamentally changed by the functioning of contemporary art movements. If in the past we encountered formalist, unitary, individual expression in the role of a particular commodity in museums and galleries, today we are confronted with conceptualist, pluralistic works, with an emphasis on the social dimension as a statement. We encounter public places, streets, museums, and galleries, and finally, at this time, art breaks away from its limited framework and, as an action, places the artist in the role of an activist in relation to social issues.

Here, topics such as the qualities of spies, the dispatch of intelligence agents to acquire information on the enemy, alertness, discipline and preparation in the face of enemy attack, inciting and encouraging people to war, types of battle such as opening castles and setting siege and conquering cities, and other war techniques that a sultan or caliph should know concerning the rules and musts of war have been discussed and reviewed.

To understand veterans’ needs and to make future generations familiar with the culture of self-sacrifice and martyrdom, we need a database to store information. The first step for designing a base is to provide a conceptual framework of the base. This study aims to provide a conceptual model to create the national base of veterans in Iran.
This research was conducted in a two-step, mixed approach. The first step was conducted using content analysis method (quantitative) and the second step using Delphi (qualitative) technique. Data collection tool was Excel 2016 software. With the help of Delphi technique, a researcher-made conceptual pattern was sent to the experts in three rounds. Based on their views, the final plan of national base of veterans was formed.
Among the main components, introduction to the war was removed, history of war changed to history of wars, link to links, other materials to other contents, art and war to war and art, and the sub-component of possibilities turned into the main component. Veterans’ personal information turned into veterans’ database that changed into subsidiary components of the martyrs / veterans / prisoners-of-war / warriors database.
The main components of the conceptual pattern of national base of veterans of Iran include: home page, introduction, conflicts and operations, equipment, war zones, facilities, news, cemeteries of martyrs, veterans’ rules, questions and answers, history of wars, war and art, veterans’ database, archives, links, guide, contact with us, FAQs, other content, resources, about the base, search, map.

From the time Sun Tzu wrote “Art of War”، morale، specifically epic morale has been considered by intellectuals، commanders and politicians. Furthermore، in religious texts، especially in Islamic texts، morale has been looked as an effective fundamental factor in Muslims victory on enemies. In late century، a lot of research and theoretical efforts has been done in order to formulate the psychological characteristic of it and to recognize the factors affecting that. The results of these methodological scientific efforts were the introduction and presentation of patterns and methods for improving societies’ morale and removing its weakening factors. In this article، it has been tried to examine the dimensions، nature، patterns and indicators of this phenomenon along with reviewing its research literature.

Amir Massoud, as one of the influential rulers of Sarbadari, was able to expand the  Sarbedaran’s territory beyond the Beyhaq area after gaining power, but in the last year of his rule,  he lost his life and many of his military forces with a heavy failure in the campaign to Mazandaran, and in this way, Sarbadaran suffered an irreparable stroke..Considering the importance of the battle of Mazandaran, this article tries to analyze the factors of Amir Massoud's failure in this campaign based on historical sources close to the event, related researches and the treatise on the art of war, and using the descriptive-analytical method and the application of Sun Tzu's martial views.. The findings show that Amir Masoud’s failure is related to both sides of the battle’s behavior; Amir Masoud, regardless of the heterogeneous situation of his troops after the defeat of Zawah, engaged them in an erosion battle and without any useful tactics, he openly went into depth of Mazandaran. The rulers and people considered him as a common enemy and united against him and they caused him and his forces to be surprised and destroyed with an efficient strategy. .

War and devastation are recurrent subjects of the artworks created by artists of different ages and geography. Since ancient times to date, great literary works and masterpieces of music, film and theater have been created on the theme of war. Basically, art of war is a special genre full of conflicts and contradictions between good and evil. It is the expression of the concept of warfare and defending homeland, identity and belief in different doctrines and records the visual aspects of war to show human’s pain and grief.The aftermaths of the eight years of armed conflict left a profound and lasting effect on the Iranian people’s hearts and souls. The occupation of their soil by aggressive forces, the extensive use of chemical weapons and rockets and deliberate attacks on civilian targets had lots of casualties. A large number of people were martyred or displaced and many cities were ruined. Moreover, many sacrifices were made by hundreds of thousands of Iranian youth and veterans who struggled to defend their homeland and its independence and triumphed to repel the enemy out of their country, all leading the war artists to register these unfortunate events. The young artists depicting scenes of the eight-year, Iran-Iraq war and sacred defense consider it their duty to create artworks which express their revolutionary beliefs. As observers of the war devastations who had not suffered its trauma, these artists create artworks that exhibit idealist features. These pieces of art are of an ideal and mystical nature rather than a realist, violent and militant one. These emotionally created pieces are typically slogan works, devoid of strong artistic structure. Furthermore, they are largely based on Islamic beliefs and strive to reflect the Iranian society’s feelings and sentiments. On the other hand, there are the paintings of World War I, snapshots of which are expressionist in style offering a realistic account of people’s agony and suffering because its artists had direct association with war and warfare as soldiers. Conducted through desk study of library resources and the examining the respective images in war museums, the article aims to make a comparative analysis of the works created by two different streams of thought and belief systems of Iran-Iraq and the World War I in two periods of militancy to defense. The paper seeks to answer these very questions that what are the commonalities and differences in the contents, style and structure of artworks of these two periods? Via analyzing and reviewing the data gathered from war museums and comparing them, it was hypothesized that within the common themes of the artworks of these two different eras, there are structural differences in their contents and concepts which are rooted in two perspectives on war and defense. The paper comes to this conclusion that although the majority of the revolutionary artists of that era were young people who lacked sufficient experience in art and were often unknown in the artistic community, but they endeavored to create a new style of painting in the history of Iranian art. The revolutionary and defensive outlook of war artists was stronger than their artistic knowledge and style. Consequently, artists were more concerned about the message their works conveyed and less about their structure and credibility. On the contrary, artists of the World War I, who had fought in war trenches and frontlines, created realistic paintings reflecting the actual trauma of war.

Inconsistency as the prevailing conditions on the battlefield forces the military forces to adopt measures other than those corresponding to the symmetric or classic operations scene. The basis of adopting such measures is called the principles of war, which is the foundation of the science and art of war and guides the commander to achieve victory.The relevance of each of the principles of war depends on the type and environment of war. Like the doctrine, part of these principles can be used in general in all armed forces; But due to the existence of differences in assigned missions, the type of action of specialized forces, equipment models and the like, another part of these principles may be different in one force compared to other forces. Therefore, the researchers in the current study tried to identify the factors affecting air defense operations in an uneven war environment, to extract and present the "principles of air defense war in an uneven environment".The current type of research is applied-developmental and its approach is qualitative with descriptive-analytical method. The data has been collected by library and field methods. The obtained information has been analyzed using MaxQDA software. The validity of the interview questions was calculated through content validity and reliability with "Cohen's kappa formula". Finally, from the findings of the research on the principles of air defense warfare in an uneven environment, including the principle of information aristocracy, the principle of passive defense, the principle of deception, the principle of targeting, the principle of frequency management, the principle of offense in defense, the principle of all-round air defense, the principle of purpose, the principle decentralized support, the principle of initiative and creativity,The principle of surprise, the principle of all-round psychological operations, the principle of proportionality, the principle of agility, the principle of fire and movement, the principle of maintaining strength and defensive power, the principle of no need for repetition, the principle of maximum deterrence, the principle of safe and stable communications, the principle of continuity of defense operations. air, the principle of self-reliance and tactical independence, the principle of decentralized implementation, the principle of flexibility, the principle of non-interference in actions, the principle of speed of action, the principle of early engagement, the principle of defense in depth, the principle of attrition, the principle of centralized command, the principle of electronic warfare and the principle Cyber ​​defense is calculated and presented.
