Comparative Analysis of Saudi Arabia’s and Iran’s Ideological Roles in Yemen Transformations
The involvement of the Islamic Republic of Iran and Saudi Arabia, the two most significant regional actors, in the Yemen crisis might be seen as a reflection of their ideological rivalry. Ideology plays a considerable part in this situation and paves the way for higher regional competition between these two countries. This study employs a comparative-analytical approach, and data are collected via desk research, books, academic journals, and databases. The subject was discussed using the comparative framework of Barry Buzan's "Regional Security Complex Theory" (RSCT). This study addresses the following question: "How can the rivalry between Iran and Saudi Arabia in the Yemen crisis be explored? “According to the theoretical framework of this study, the rivalry between Iran and Saudi Arabia may be analyzed in four criteria: roles, objectives, level, and strategies. In fact, these nations vary in these four criteria, which will be discussed in the paper. Iran and Saudi Arabia have been rivals for several years. Focusing on this issue and gaining knowledge of the Islamic Republic of Iran by analyzing Saudi Arabia's foreign policy in the region, the present research lays the groundwork for a logical and acceptable strategy to protect Iran's regional status and maintain the power balance.
