Zaidoon Alhadid is a journalist and political commentator based in Amman.

The film is set in the near future, where wars are no longer fought with missiles and bombs, but in complete silence through information dominance, cyber warfare, and psychological manipulation. The story focuses on multiple dimensions: overt military power, hidden battles across the internet, and the psychological tension between societies and their leaders.اضافة اعلان

The plot begins with escalating tensions between a major global power and Iran. Aircraft carriers and destroyers are deployed in the Gulf, while the real war is conducted far from public view. Journalists and social media platforms contribute to amplifying fear among citizens, creating the sense that war has already begun, despite the absence of any direct exchange of fire.

The film reveals how battles are waged covertly through espionage operations, cyberattacks on critical infrastructure, economic pressure, and the shaping of public opinion via fake news and extreme analyses. The main characters include intelligence analysts, military generals, and journalists who gradually discover that the war has already started, and that every minor event—whether on the ground or in the digital world—can be decisive.

The film reaches its climax as the consequences of the silent war become evident in society: people live in a constant state of panic, governments carry out secret maneuvers, and critical decisions are made in the shadows, while the world watches the visible tension unfold on television screens and social media platforms. In the end, it becomes clear that the war may end or achieve its objectives without a single shot being fired, and that silence proved more powerful than any explosion.

The film’s final message illustrates how major powers demonstrate that modern warfare can be more effective through silence, and that true power is not measured by weapons, but by control over information and the manipulation of public awareness—turning every individual into part of the battlefield without even realizing it.
