 جامعه‌شناسی سیاسی این حالت را «رخوت اجتماعی» می‌نامد؛ وضعیتی که در آن، جامعه نه نیروی کنش دارد

Political sociology calls this state “social lethargy”; a condition in which society has no driving force for action.

 Iranian society is caught in a paradoxical state: neither in open war, nor in secure peace. This *“social limbo”* is more exhausting than war itself, for instead of physical destruction, it erodes the collective mind, psyche, and hope for the future.

Political sociology names this condition *“social lethargy”*; a state where society has neither the energy for action nor the strength for resistance, but remains suspended between fear and hope.

Today’s Iran is entangled in an internal and external *“cold war”* whose impact on the nation’s psyche and economy is more destructive than any hot conflict. Political sociology warns that unless institutions can restore public trust through transparency, accountability, and future-building, society will corrode from within—fearing not bombs, but its own silent erosion. And that, more than any military threat, is the real danger. / *Ham-Mihan*
