Abstract: Arabic developments in 2011 boosted competition among Western powers. The crisis of the overthrow of the Saudi-dominated dictatorship provided a platform for Iran's influence in a natural unification with these Arab developments. To counteract this threat, the Saudis adopted a revisionist policy for the diversion of the Arab Spring by resorting to proxy wars, especially in Iraq, Syria and Yemen. The politics of Saudi Arabia were a sectarian manifestation of these developments around Shiite-Sunni. Yemeni developments and the rise of Ansarullah's power after the overthrow of Ali Abdullah Saleh and Mansour Hadi provided Saudi military intervention against Ansarullah. The disagreement between the groups on the formation of the government and the support of Saudi Arabia from Mansour Hadi and the fear of Houthi and Ansarullah domination provided Saudi Arabia with a 2015 military attack on Yemen. The Saudis have provoked the continuation of the war in Yemen, arguing that they are struggling with Iran's supporters. This paper seeks to investigate the effect of the Saudi proxy war on Iran in the continuing crisis in Yemen. The question is why the Saudi-backed war on Iran continued in Yemen?
