Abstract

Yemen is considered to be one of the most fertile parts of the Arabian Peninsula, due to its geographic location and important ports and islands throughout the history of the region, and has filled out regional and international actors, and filled its history pages with various events. Saudi diplomacy and foreign policy are heavily influenced by the ideology of Wahhabism and oil and are therefore heavily concerned about Iran's growing influence in the region. On this basis, Saudi Arabia will try to eliminate Iran from the new equations formed in the region in any way possible and minimize its role. Yemen is one of the most important of these areas. Saudi Arabia considers it as its backyard. Saudi Arabia has considered the repression of Ansarullah and Shiite groups in Yemen as a direct threat from the Islamic Republic of Iran and has addressed military confrontation. The main question of the current research is that Saudi Arabia is following the approach taken by Yemen's popular transformation? The findings suggest that the Saudis, with goals such as limiting Iran, loosening the axis of resistance in the region, and preventing the overflow of Yemen's transformation into its eastern borders, in order to keep Yemeni weak and to keep it out Shiites of the country are taking power from sources. The methodology of this research is descriptive-analytic and it has been tried to investigate this issue based on the theory of aggressive realism.
