Therefore, the main objective of this article is to examine the cultural attitudes of the representatives of the first legislature of the Islamic Consultative Assembly towards the war waged by Iraq against Iran. The method was used in this study is content analysis based on document studies. The research is based on a detailed study of the deliberations of the first legislative session of the Islamic Consultative Assembly to answer the question of ‘What cultural positions the representatives of the first legislative session of the Islamic Consultative Assembly held towards the war imposed by Iraq on Iran?’ The findings indicate that at the beginning of the war against Iran imposed by Iraq, in line with the values and Islamic culture that emerged from the Islamic Revolution, the representatives tried to encourage and motivate the warriors and the people in the fight against the invading enemy, called for perseverance and resilience, promoted the culture of martyrdom and self-sacrifice, preserved national unity and cohesion, and were guided by religious and spiritual teachings.
