Abstract: In recent years,Saudi Arabia and Iran have made full use of proxy strategy in their respective regional rivalry. The reasons for Saudi and Iran’s proxy games include geopolitical differences,sectarian strife and structural contradictions between the two countries on the one hand,and the needs of proxy itself for external forces to achieve political and religious ambition on the other hand.Saudi and Iranian proxy strategy exacerbates the deterioration of political ecosystem in the Middle East,speeds up the shaping of the regional camps and the cold war pattern,and intensifies confrontation among regional powers. It is foreseeable that the relations between the activators,the proxy and the great powers within and outside the region will affect the proxy strategy
