The defense of the country and ensuring of national security require a special framework. The views and thoughts of experts and leaders of a country can draw a roadmap to achieve these goals. This study presents the thoughts of the Supreme Leader as a model regarding the method of defense in the I.R. of Iran. This applied study has a qualitative approach based on an interpretive paradigm and its type and nature is exploratory. Based on the research method, Grounded theory, the extract of the vision of the Supreme Command of the Armed Forces in the field of defense can be extracted, conceptualized, categorized and then modeled. In this regard, in the first stage, 580 statements in the form of 245 concepts were extracted. In the second stage, 9 main categories (defense arena, defense preparedness, defense elements, defense issue, defense environment, defense model, defense responsibility, defense strategies and defense necessity) were categorized and counted. In the third stage, a systematic model of the defense thoughts of the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces has been drawn and presented in order to formulate the doctrine and military strategies of the country to create effective deterrence.

Today, cyber defense strategy is prevalent in many leading countries. The basis of this type of defense is mastery of cyberspace and the ability to perform cyber operations. This ability in addition to creating a cyber deterrent, enabling countries to eliminate the threat before it becomes actual. Due to the intangibility of cyberspace and invisibility of the purpose of cyber operations, it is difficult to understand the success of the operation. Measuring this success requires evaluating cyber operations. By evaluating cyber operations, the performance and effectiveness of operations can be measured, weaknesses and strengths can be found, and steps can be taken to eliminate weaknesses and improve strengths. In order to carry out an accurate, comprehensive and scientific evaluation of cyber operations, a strategic model is needed. In this study, a mixed approach (quantitative and qualitative) has been used to provide a strategic model for evaluating cyber operations. In this regard, 70 questionnaires conducted among commanders, managers and experts at the strategic, operational and tactical levels of the country's cyber operations. Based on the research and by using the opinion of experts, three concepts of “design evaluation”, “combat preparedness evaluation” and “performance evaluation” were identified as the basic dimensions of cyber operations evaluation. Then, the components of each of these dimensions were extracted and the indicators of them were determined. Finally, a strategic model for evaluating cyber operations in three dimensions, ten components and seventy-three indicators is presented after statistical analysis of the results of the questionnaires.

The role of crime as a social phenomenon in creating social disorder and insecurity has always led governments to pay special attention to criminal policymaking. Crime prevention is at the heart of criminal policymaking. This issue has great importance in military environments in order to establish and maintain the security of the organization.
