Saudi Arabia has witnessed the beginning of a new era since 2014 with the coming to power of King Salman and Mohammed bin Salman. This period is followed by the efforts of Muhammad bin Salman to reach the seat of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and the transfer of power from Al Saud to Al Salman. During a period of 8 years, Saudi Arabia witnessed many ups and downs at the triple domestic, regional and international levels. The main question of this article is that according to the actions taken by the Saudi Crown Prince in recent years, what will be the horizon of developments in Saudi Arabia at the three levels with the possible kingdom of Muhammad bin Salman? The author believes that Saudi Arabia is witnessing a transition from traditional society and the formation of coercive authority in the domestic sphere; At the regional level, it will witness a distancing from the claim of Arab godfatherism and the weakening of religious instruments, and at the international level, it will also witness a "polar" confusion between East and West. In this article, the descriptive-analytical research method and the theoretical framework of neoclassical realism were used.

The deepening challenge between Saudi Arabia and the Shiite Resistance Front can be considered one of the most important challenges in the Middle East during its post-ISIS era. This issue has manifested itself with the emergence of Muhammad ibn al-Salman and his covert and overt hostility towards the Shiites, especially in cases such as the Yemeni war, conspiracies against the governments of Iraq and Syria, and the escalation of the Cold War against the Islamic Republic of Iran. Has found the Middle East openly at the forefront of security crises. In this article, the authors devote their efforts to designing a strategic model for Muhammad Bin Salman during the defeat of Donald Trump (as one of the most powerful and important supporters of Bin Salman) against the Shiites. The research method is based on exploratory mix (qualitative-quantitative).The statistical population of the present research is based on interviews conducted with professors, elites and researchers in the field of political science, regional studies, international relations and geopolitics. Assessment of the model: A researcher-made questionnaire with relative cluster sampling method was distributed among 60 samples. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by face and content method and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha method. Data were analyzed by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis using SPSS and AMOS software. The results of the qualitative section indicate that Bin Salman's strategic model towards the Shiites, especially in the period when Donald Trump lost the second presidential election of the United States, has the following 16 dimensions: Causal conditions (1. Security, 2. Intensification of Espionage Actions, 3. Intensification of Proxy War), Underlying conditions (4. Emphasis on Pan-Arabism, 5. Attempt to form an alliance with Israel, 6. Attempt to form an Arab NATO), Interventional conditions (7. Development of arms deals, 8. Shiismophobia, 9. Extensive psychological warfare), Strategic (10. Improving relations with Qatar, 11. Isolation of the Islamic Republic of Iran, 12. Obtaining Oman's consent to join the Saudis, 13. Attempting to influence Again in Iraq) and the consequences (14. intensification of militarism in the Persian Gulf 15. intensification of insecurity in the Middle East and 16. intensification of Wahhabism-Shiism confrontations). The results of the quantitative section showed that all dimensions of the research paradigm model were confirmed.

This paper seeks to study the effects of tradition - modernism cleavage on the political stability in Saudi Arabia. For decades, Wahhabi scholars have promoted Salafi values and beliefs, and as a result have strengthened traditional and conservative tendencies in the Saudi society, despite the decades of efforts made by Saudi leaders to advance the process of modernization in order to consolidate their power and improve governance. However, despite some challenges, the management of the tradition - modernism cleavage by Saudi leaders have sustained political stability in the country. During the Reign of King Salman, a new and rapid process of modernization began under the leadership of MBS. This newly-emerged trend is accompanied by a number of dimensions, such as restriction of Wahhabi scholars, concentration on generational changes and also cultural and social reforms with a focus on women’s situation, raises important questions about Saudi political stability. This article makes two interrelated arguments; first, it contributes that the MBS reformist policies and new developments regarding tradition - modernism cleavage causes some challenges like declining the legitimacy of government and growing tendency of people towards extremist groups. Second, these development will not lead to fundamental changes in the Saudi political system.
