Abstract

Objective: Recent developments in the international system in particular in regional level, which intensified anarchy in the Middle East geopolitics, directed some key actors to form coalition against common threats. Israel and Saudi Arabia are those who have seriously taken step for creating a coalition. With regard to that, the aim of the research is to study the fields that led Saudi Arabia and Israel to establish a de facto coalition and the consequences of it for Iran’s national security. Therefore, the main question of the research is that what are the main roots of forming the coalition and how this threats Iran's national security?
Method: The research method is analytical- explanatory and library resources were used for data collection.
Results: The research findings reveal that different factors of internal, regional and international had role in forming the coalition which are reinforcing one another. Furthermore, the findings demonstrate that Israeli-Saudi coalition through intensifying Iran-phobia and changing regional blocking, shifting balance of power and altering regional security structure, extending instability and crisis generation in Iran and ultimately exacerbating identical and sectarianism variancesaimed at dwindling Iran regional power, has put in danger Iran's national security and interests.
Conclusion: forming Israeli-Saudi coalition will lead to divergence and escalating of differences among the Muslim countries in the region and will challenge their development. The crisis among Muslim countries, will definitely supply the US and Israel benefits in the region.
