Thus, the Islamic Republic of Iran, as an active actor and regional hegemony, has been trying to adopt a protective and security approach to the state-to-nation in Yemen in order to secure its regional security from the outbreak of the crisis in Yemen.

In order to give a logical answer to this question, the following hypothesis is put forward: The Islamic Republic of Iran has taken a security approach to this crisis, considering the strategic position of Yemen in the regional equations and in order to improve its security factor in the region.
