The subject of this article is “The Influence U.S Cyber Diplomacy on the Viewpoints of Cyberspace Iranian Users (Case Study: Radio Farda Website)”.The U.S government has tried to enforce various cultural, social and educational programs to convince people about its foreign policy goals, and it is known as public diplomacy. Considering Iran’s high stance in U.S foreign policy, its Department of State launched various cyber diplomacy projects including Radio Farda website to influence Iranians. The key question of this article is: What is the Influence of Radio Farda website, on Viewpoints of the Iranian Users of Cyberspace? For this purpose, qualitative content of Radio Farda website have been analyzed and questionnaires has been used. The hypothesis is that, by comparison to the Iranian Internet users who do not visited Radio Farda website, the Radio Farda website users are more influenced by cyber diplomacy content and messages and this leads to negative attitude towards the Iranian society.
