        Layered and multidimensional threats that threaten the lives of political units in sensitive geographical areas have persuaded them to form a network-centric alliance to protect their own land and the interests of themselves and their allies. Lay a layer of actors on the agenda not only at the state level but also on a transnational scale. One of the basic pillars of Iran's defense strategy is the design and application of a fundamental and security-building approach called foreign defense with the ultimate goal of protecting the country's national security in West Asia. The pursuit of this strategy at the beginning of the formation of the revolution was mainly defined as the observance of the mission and the religious and revolutionary motivation to support the liberating currents, but in recent decades, and especially after the wave of awakening. Islam, the scope and activity of takfiri groups, the growing threat to the United States and its allies, and the coalition system of rival countries, including the Saudi and UAE regimes, often serve as a prudent and necessary approach to consolidation. Partitioning and directing has led to a network of powerful indigenous forces that are at the same time in line with the goals, security and interests of the regions of Iran and the Islamic world as a whole. Yemen's Ansar al-Islam, which plays a key and decisive role in the developments in Yemen today, is one of the prominent forces during the operation of this network. Manuscript profile
