Abstract
Iran's Islamic Revolution has played a significant role in finding the importance of Shi'ism as a geopolitical center in the world, raising the intellectual level and political vision of Shi'ites in the region. The ideology of this revolution and the presence of the leadership of Imam Khomeini led Shiites, including the Shiites of Yemen, to become fascinated by this revolution. This article seeks to answer the question based on the systematic analysis of the Iranian Islamic Revolution, what role did it play in the formation and performance of the Yemeni Ansarullah movement? In this regard, it can be said that the teachings of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, including the fight against tyranny and arrogance, achieving independence and an independent identity, have played an inspiring role in the emergence and cohesion of the Yemeni Ansarullah movement and the formation of the people's resistance strategy against the authoritarian system and foreign interference. . For this purpose, by using the conceptual literature of the system theory, which shows the new aspect of this issue, and by using the descriptive-analytical method, it was analyzed how the Ansarullah movement was influenced by the Iranian Islamic Revolution. Therefore, Iran's Islamic Revolution has played the most important role in shaping Yemen's Ansarullah movement by using revolutionary and Islamic values and norms and by discussing issues of seeking independence and fighting against the authoritarian system.
Keywords: Yemen's Ansarullah, Ilham Bakhshi, Houthis, Iran's Islamic Revolution and systemic analysis.
Introduction
Ansarullah of Yemen started its activities in 1992 under the name of the believing youth movement in defense of the rights of Zaidi Shiites. Abdul Malik Houthi's approach as the leader of Ansarullah against internal and external tyranny and arrogance is very close to the thoughts and positions of the Islamic Revolution of Iran. In this regard, in this article, we are looking for an answer to the question, based on the systematic analysis of the Iranian Islamic Revolution, what role did it play in the formation and functioning of the Yemeni Ansarullah movement? The purpose of posing this question is to examine the relationship between Ansarullah's political thoughts and teachings with the Islamic Revolution of Iran and the Ansarallah of Yemen's example of the Iranian Islamic Revolution based on the outputs of Iran's political system. The data review method is based on the descriptive-analytical approach and the library and document collection method.
Materials & Methods
Systemic theory can be effective in determining how Iran's Islamic revolution affects other countries and movements. Because the systematic analysis with regard to its holistic view can be meaningful for many components and countless information about the effects of the Islamic Revolution of Iran on 57 Islamic countries and the people of other countries. Therefore, the two countries of Iran and Yemen are two systems that form the outputs of Iran's Islamic Revolution system and the inputs of Yemen's Ansarullah.
The teachings of the Islamic Revolution of Iran are considered as the outputs of the Iranian political system to the region, especially the country of Yemen and the Ansarullah movement, and these teachings are considered as its inputs for the country of Yemen. A society that by introducing the teachings of the revolution and the thoughts of Imam Khomeini (RA) increased the demands and demands of the people from the political system and caused a decrease in the support of that system. The Yemeni revolution can be seen as influenced by the inputs of the Iranian Islamic revolution, including the increase in people's demands for reforming the Yemeni political system, fighting against the government's tyranny, and the demand for political participation by the Shiites. In this regard, we have also seen the spread of demonstrations against the government and the government of the time and the decrease in the legitimacy of the government in the eyes of the people. The results of the Islamic revolution of Iran have also influenced the policies and direction of the goals and values of the Yemeni Ansarullah in order to issue the revolution. As an example, Yemen's Ansarullah movement, affected by Iran's Islamic revolution, took more radical measures in accordance with the political system, which caused the political system or the political regime inside this country to face many crises and turn to reforms.
Discussion & Result
The Islamic Revolution was an inspiring model for Houthi leaders, and the beginnings of contact can be traced back to the 1980s. Hossein Badr al-Din al-Houthi made his first trip to Qom and many activists of the "Assembly of Believers" from which the Houthi movement emerged had strong relationships with a number of Iranian clerics, therefore, in line with a systematic analysis, it can be said that the approach of the Yemeni leaders towards the revolution Islamic Iran has been one of the feedbacks of Iran's Islamic Revolution system in the emergence of Ansarullah, which can be evaluated positively due to the influence of Islamic ideas among Yemeni leaders and their approach in propagating the ideas and policies of Iran's Islamic Revolution.
Until the Islamic Revolution of Iran, a small number of Twelver Shiites were found in Yemen. In comparison with Wahhabism and Salafism, the Zaidis have feelings and thoughts close to the Shiites of the Twelve Imams. This has been very effective in bringing them closer to Iran.
Iran's Islamic revolution had an effect on the increase of revolutionary slogans and values. Hossein al-Houthi announced the slogans "Allah Akbar", "Death to America", "Death to Israel" and "Victory for Islam" as the official slogans of the Shiites. The future political structure of Yemen depends on increasing the geopolitical position of Shiites, and it is not possible to eliminate and fight against Shiites in my future political system. Based on the feedback element in the system analysis, it can be said that the desired output in the political system of Yemen is the presence of Shiites in the future political system of Yemen, because if the process and/or inputs are not adjusted to achieve the desired result, the system will suffer. Therefore, the desired result of the output of Iran's Islamic Revolution system, along with the input of Yemen's Ansarullah political system, is the active presence of Zaidi Shiites and Ansarallah in the structure of Yemen's political system as a feedback of the political system.
With the occurrence of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, a new spirit was breathed into the Shiite uprisings in Yemen, and by following the example of the victory of the Islamic Revolution of Iran and following the values of the Islamic Revolution, they have added to the geopolitics of the Shiites. Therefore, concerns from some countries in the region, especially Saudi Arabia, about the impact of the Islamic revolution on Yemen have caused this country to interfere in the internal affairs of Yemen in a soft and hard way, especially in the recent Yemeni revolution. Even today, although Iran may not be able to stop the war in Yemen, it may help to achieve peace and reduce tension.
Conclusion
In this research, with the help of systemic theory, we obtained an analytical model in examining the influence of Yemen's Ansarullah movement on the teachings and normative approaches of the Islamic Revolution of Iran. A model that places the inputs of Yemen's political system alongside the outputs of Iran's Islamic Revolution system in line with the issue of the revolution, and the main reason for using the concepts and assumptions of systemic theory in this article is the understanding and perceptions of the activists of the Ansarullah Movement about the role of the Islamic Republic. Iran is known as an influential country in the Islamic world. The impact of the Yemeni revolution and Ansarullah on the Islamic revolution is not only a sign of dependence, but it also shows the inspiration of the Iranian Islamic revolution in the direction of spreading Islamic and Shiite values and norms in the world. In other words, over time and with changes in their thoughts and ideas, Zaidi came close to the thoughts and beliefs of the Shiites of the Twelve Imams, and this issue has also been a point of accusation for them regarding their dependence on the Islamic Republic of Iran.
