The role of Saudi Arabia in creating religious tensions in the Balochistan region of Iran

This paper uses a descriptive-analytical approach using deterrence theory to predict the causes of Saudi involvement in ethnic-religious affairs in Iran's Baluchistan region; so, the question is, "What role does Saudi Arabia play in ethnic-religious tensions in the Balochistan region?" In response, it tests the hypothesis that "Saudi Arabia is using political and ideological reasons to use its power in the border region to create tension, because of its religious affiliation with Iranian Balochistan residents". As the results of the research show, to end the country's interference in Iranian internal affairs, the governments of Iran and Saudi Arabia must improve regional and denational relations with neighbors and groups affiliated with the two countries in the region.
