Abstract
The Islamic Republic of Iran has witnessed various hostilities since the victory of the revolution. At first, the enemy tried to defeat the revolution by imposing war, and after becoming disappointed with it, it has tried to weaken the government from within and create various threats to internal security. This situation requires adopting important policies using precise tools and in-depth analyses. To overcome this challenge, methods such as strategic war game theory and the like were invented. Therefore, this research aims to design a war game that monitors the field of internal security, so that in this regard, the method used is a quantitative-qualitative mix as well as a combination of documentary studies and expert interviews, in order to identify the fields of internal security and the ISM structural-interpretive modeling method to analyze the space of influence and impact of each field on each other. In addition, SPSS and MICMAC techniques have also been used. The findings show that internal security depends on several factors such as social justice, public education and training, social gaps, natural and social crises, organized crime, etc. The research output has identified three levels of infrastructure, middle, and superstructure for these areas, which can help decision-makers to better understand their relationships and mutual influences. This research shows that the use of simulation tools and strategic modeling, such as the internal security war game, allows policymakers to evaluate different solutions and choose optimal decisions in the face of internal threats without real costs.
