Yemen crisis is one of the challenging issues in the Middle East which has been
determined, so far, by regional and global powers. As two regional powers, Iran
and Saudi Arabia are among the countries which has demonstrated opposite
behaviors in this issue. Different approaches in decision making in these two
countries has caused them to adopt a contrastive foreign policy toward their
areas as a result of different subjective and objective interpretations. The
current crisis in Yemen is among challenging domains between Iran and Saudi
Arabia. Here, the controversy between the two concepts of Shiite's Islam and
Wahhabi's islam have dragged the two countries' relations towards a regional
cold war. Therefore, the present study aims at analyzing and revising the
contrast between Iran and Saudi Arabia in Yemen's current crisis.
