Document Type : Research Paper

Abstract

Some researchers believe that the Yemeni crisis is merely influenced by social forces or the contribution of regional players like Iran and Saudi Arabia, but the strategic facts suggest that Washington and Zionist regime act as two global and regional powers playing a determining role in the incremental course of Yemeni crisis and exacerbation of the situation. The US officials believe that there will be an Iranian erosion of regional power if Iran experiences the signs of intensified conflict within the regional context. The Saudi-led backlash from 11 Arab Union nations and support for the involved players such as Zionist regime, the UK and the US demonstrate how the Islamist realms are increasingly encountered. Any Saudi coup carried out in Egypt backed by Washington and Tel Aviv must have been aimed at encountering the Yemeni national revolution and the contribution of Ansarollah by means of military force. The Saudi military operation was parallel to the involvement of the British Foreign Secretary in the region, similar to the scenario where the US Secretary of Defense made his presence felt in Bahrain prior to the Saudi counteraction. The main question of this research is how are the Yemeni security policies characterized in the wake of nationwide crisis? The hypothesis of this paper stresses the following statement: The Yemeni security crisis broken out in April 2015 will be controlled through achievement of a regional balance. The theoretical framework of this research draws mainly on the regional balance theory in heterogeneous systems and chaotic strategic environments.
