The present study was conducted with the aim of identifying the role of the native social media ecosystem in strengthening Iranian-Islamic family cohesion against the media dimensions of Israel and America's cognitive warfare against Iran. The research method is qualitative, employing inductive thematic analysis. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with twelve experts in the fields of media, family, and cultural security, selected via purposive sampling with maximum variation. The coding process was carried out in three stages: open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. Based on the findings, 158 initial codes, 23 organized themes, and three overarching themes were identified: "Specialized Content Production," "Content Monitoring and Interpretation," and "Content Identity." The findings indicate that mothers' groups on Bale Messenger, through the production of religious and cultural content, function as an identity-centered ecosystem, filtering cognitive threats and reinforcing native cultural-media identity, thereby creating a defensive shield against directed cognitive operations conducted by adversarial media networks (centered around Israel and the United States). Theoretically, this study introduces the concept of the "Distributed Cognitive Shield" and demonstrates that media resistance at the level of online family communities represents one of the neglected dimensions in analyses of media warfare against Iran.
