The process of becoming radicalized and joining extremist groups like Daesh, in countries with a Shi’a majority, such as Iran, is a controversial topic that has not received sufficient attention in the literature. This study examines Daesh’s media content in Farsi and seeks to provide an analysis of Daesh’s main messages, which have the primary objective of profoundly impacting their target audiences in Iran. This study collected data from 16 Iranian members of Daesh to discover how they were radicalized and why they decided to join Daesh. This study seeks to understand whether the media and Daesh’s propaganda are indeed the key reasons behind the radicalization of Daesh’s Iranian members and the creation of others’ perception of their mindsets against Iran and its Shi’a population, and to discover other possible factors that play a role in the radicalization process. While Daesh media and messages hold salience in relation to the Daeshization of some, studying such complex socio-political issues is rooted in an amalgamation of different personal, social, political, economic, and cultural push and pull factors. Such phenomena cannot, therefore, be reduced to only one of the mentioned elements.

在什叶派占多数的国家（例如伊朗）变得激进并加入像达伊沙这样的极端主义团体的过程是一个有争议的话题，在文献中没有得到足够的关注。本研究检查了伊斯兰国的波斯语媒体内容，并试图分析伊斯兰国的主要信息，其主要目的是对伊朗的目标受众产生深远的影响。这项研究收集了 16 名伊斯兰国成员的数据，以了解他们是如何变得激进的，以及他们决定加入伊斯兰国的原因。这项研究旨在了解媒体和达伊沙的宣传是否确实是达伊沙伊朗成员激进化以及其他人对伊朗及其什叶派民众心态的看法背后的关键原因，并发现在激进化过程中起作用的其他可能因素。尽管 Daesh 媒体和信息在某些人的 Daeshization 中占有突出地位，但研究此类复杂的社会政治问题植根于不同的个人、社会、政治、经济和文化推拉因素的融合。因此，此类现象不能仅归结为上述要素之一。
