Abstract

This article describes the involvement of the United States and Iran in the conflict that occurred in Yemen after the Arab Spring. The conflict occurred due to political turmoil between the government and the opposition, in which America is a supporter of the government regime along with their ally, namely Saudi Arabia. In the opposition camp, Iran gave their support to the Houthi group that had the same ideology, namely Shi'ah. This research was conducted to answer the question of what are the interests of the United States and Iran in the proxy war in Yemen? The theory used in this research is the concept of national interest. This concept is closely related to the view of realism in international relations. The research method used is descriptive analytical by analyzing the relevant variables from various sources that have been filtered according to research needs. After conducting research, it can be concluded that the involvement of the United States and Iran in the Yemen conflict can be seen from four factors of national interest, namely defense interests, economic interests, world order interests, and ideological interests. Of these four interests, both the US and Iran want to show their dominance, existence, strength and influence in global politics of eyes world through intervention in the Yemen conflict after the Arab Spring.

Abstract

As a movement which is related to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, the Tarbiyah movement carries Islamist agendas which indirectly influence the concept of masculinity adopted by its activists. This research examines the concept of masculinity adopted by campus da'wah activists affiliated with the Tarbiyah movement in the city of Yogyakarta and Surakarta. The research subjects were campus da'wah activists at Universitas Gadjah Mada Yogyakarta and Universitas Sebelas Maret Surakarta. The results showed that the concept of masculinity adopted by Tarbiyah da'wah activists experienced a shift in purpose. Now the concept of masculinity is constructed not to support the jihad agenda, but to form an Islamic society that has a good standard of living such as being healthy, strong, intelligent, prosperous, and able to carry out its role properly as an individual, family member, community and nation.

Abstract

This research analyzes the impact of the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) in Iran's missile technology on regional security dynamics and changes in the geopolitical configuration in the Middle East, especially after Iran's missile attack on Israel in October 2024. Through a post-structuralist approach, this study highlights the role of AI technology in changing the geopolitical reconfiguration in the Middle East. Iran successfully used advanced technologies, such as the Fattah hypersonic missile, which was able to penetrate Israel's Iron Dome defense system. The research found that Iran's advances in AI integration technology triggered the formation of new strategic alliances, such as cooperation between Israel, the United States and the Gulf states. Conversely, Iran's technological advancements attract collaboration from countries such as Russia and China. With a systematic analysis of the literature, this research provides important insights into how AI can change regional security dynamics and global perceptions of Iran as a military technology actor to reckon with.
