Abstract
The Holly Defense is full of social movements and popular movements that, at different times and places, have determined a favorable outcome in the war for the Islamic Republic of Iran. Accordingly, we cannot look at the Iran-Iraq War solely from a historical-military perspective, but rather, we must examine its dimensions from a social perspective. The aim of the article is to analyze the role of social capital in the retake of the Meymak Heights by analyzing the Kharazm operation in a historical-social framework. The question can be raised as to what factor was effective in determining the outcome of the Kharazm operation and the recapture of the strategic Meymak heights by Iran? Considering the historical data related to the Kharazm operation, it can be said that in addition to the performance of military organizations and military forces, the role of social capital was decisive in creating the success and victory of the Iranians in capturing the Meymak heights. Therefore, the most important factor in determining the desired outcome for the Iranians is the connection between military forces and social factors, such as social capital, in the Kharazm operation.
