The Saudi government intends to launch a military assault on Iran. But since the idea of such an attack is not in compliance with international law and may destabilize the regional order, the system disagrees with it. Nevertheless, Riyadh and the other states may provide the situation for implementing the R2P. It is evident, both domestic and international considerations should be met for application of R2P. For instance, the EU's green light and support would be among notable international factors in this regard.
A critical economic situation for many of the Middle East nations is not a sufficient motive force for starting a revolution. Gaza and the city of Sanaa in Yemen must be convincing examples in this respect; even the collapse of living standard in these areas could not make the people rebel against their corrupt political leaders.
The harsh economic conditions might be the seeds of a revolution but there is faint chance to achieve such a natural revolution in Iran. But the current economic circumstances in the country facilitate the possibility of making an armed opposition group. And this crafted rebel group would play two functions: overthrowing the regime and activating the option of R2P for the other states against Tehran.

Israel-Palestine: R2P
A domestic issue with international side effects is a global issue.
The current situation governing Israel-Palestine cannot be found merely domestic issues of these parties. The dispute of Israeli and Palestinian states itself has been the origin of a few wars and emergence of militia and terrorist groups in the region, which are threats against all.
The continues violation of human rights and humanitarian law by third parties like Hamas and Hezbollah under the shade of the dispute is now identified a constant parameter in this regard. Therefore, the world community and the major Arab states have this right to take advantage of all means to settle peace by invoking the principle of Responsibility to Protect. It is evident, the principle would legitimate any essential decision on behalf of Palestinian nation by the world community if the Palestinian state fails to accomplish its part.
At the end, the model of multilateral negotiation among Israel, West Bank and the GCC is recommended.

Yemen: "Responsibility to Protect"
Peace and democracy in Yemen are asked by the Yemeni people. Therefore, a ceasefire agreement which is without democracy clause is worthless. Tunisian model can realize the ideal of democracy for Yemen. However, no one can dictate any plan to the country.
The UN Security Council resolutions 1970 and 1973 on Libya clearly follow the doctrine of United Nations "Responsibility to Protect". According to the resolutions, the governments of the world are responsible to support the basic needs of the Libyan people against the government. It is apparent that the doctrine of R2P that is now an international norm supports people and even their armed revolution against the government and in the other words, it confirms the right to revolution!
Although some governments do not want the establishment of democracy in Yemen but if the number of casualties in Yemen increase significantly or the period of the Yemen war last in a worrying state, then the Security Council will have to support Yemen according to the doctrine of R2P and solve the crisis in the country on the basis of above resolutions since otherwise will lose its political and legal credibility at international arena and its permanent members would lose their credibility at the domestic arena; considering the fact that Yemeni forces including Houthis, army and tribes have respected the international humanitarian law as a political tactic to achieve the winner card.
Also, many Yemeni embassies have lost their loyalty to the suspended president, Mansur Hadi.
In the end, it is recommended the entertainment industry prevents from entering directly and emotionally to the Middle East issue. The communicational tools of this industry/market including movies and music do not have the required cultural conditions to address the Middle East issue such as Yemen and Iraq crisis.
