Futurism of the Yemeni crisis based on the method of actor analysis

Objective: The developments in Yemen have become one of the most complex crises in the strategic region of West Asia due to the intervention of various actors, and therefore, reaching a point of equilibrium will be a long-term process. In the current situation, none of the actors intend to moderate their basic interests. Futuristic research on the crisis is a priority and important issue. The aim of the present study is to answer the question of what are the future scenarios of the Yemeni crisis?
Method: Due to the multiplicity of actors and their different interests, the method of analyzing actors and explaining their interests will be suitable for presenting possible, probable and desirable scenarios. The study also used an expert panel and a Delphi interview.
Results: The study shows that seven scenarios can be counted for the future of the crisis: periodic crisis (a situation between fire and war), the end of the crisis and the formation of a strong central government (the best possible situation), the continuation of the war and the disintegration of Yemen (worst case scenario), federalism and division Yemen's climate system, Ansarullah's superiority, the formation of a government and the failure of the Hebrew-Arab-Western coalition, the superiority of the Hebrew-Arab-Western front, and finally the defeat of Ansarullah and Lebanonization.
Conclusion: The main actors in the Yemeni crisis, including Iran, Ansarullah, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Israel, the United States, Russia, China, Britain and France, each considers one of the mentioned scenarios to be desirable/undesirable according to the interests and goals they have set for themselves. Therefore, the efforts of all actors are to direct the crisis towards their desired scenario.
