Abstract
The Islamic Revolution of Iran, like many other revolutions, has had internal, regional and international consequences. One of the transnational consequences of the Islamic Revolution was that it was able to breathe new life into the body of Muslims around the world and help revive political Islam. Factors such as cultural and religious proximity are considered as an important component in accelerating the spread of the values of the Islamic Revolution of Iran. Therefore, Yemen was one of the countries where the reflection of the Islamic Revolution was observed. Inspired by the Islamic Revolution of Iran, the Yemeni Shiites have been very active in Yemen and have emerged as an effective force in the social and political arenas. This article, compiled by descriptive analytical method, tries to examine the impact of the Islamic Revolution of Iran on the Yemeni Shiite movements and its reflection inside the country and the region, especially Saudi Arabia's policy towards Yemen. The findings show that with the Islamic Revolution of Iran, a new spirit was breathed into the Shiite movements in Yemen, and they have added to the Shiite geopolitics by imitating the victory of the Islamic Revolution of Iran and following the values of the Islamic Revolution. Therefore, concerns from some countries in the region, especially Saudi Arabia, about the impact of the Islamic Revolution on Yemen have led it to intervene in the internal affairs of Yemen in a soft and hard way.
