Yaz-MEEN.
(On a side note, I pronounce Jasmine as JAZ-min).

yas-MEEN
YAHS-min (/ˈjas.mɪn/)
yas-MEEN
I would (stupidly) pronounce it as Yes-mean
Yas, rhyming with jazz; mine like the first syllable in 'miniature'.
same
Yas to rhyme with "as" and mine like "mean". (jæz.min)
I would only use mɪn if it was Yasmin instead of Yasmine. But for Jasmine I would use mɪn because of the English word for the flower uses that syllable (despite how e on the end would normally make the i long.)

Yas to rhyme with "as" and "Mine" like the "minn" as in Minnie.
yas-MEEN would be my first guess, then just like Yazmin.
I've always pronounced it more akin to the French way: yaz-MEEN. Though I think a lot of people pronounce it YAZ-min (similar to the English pronunciation of Jasmine).
If it's an American, I pronounce it just as Jasmine with a Y. If it's anyone else besides an American I'll pronounce it as yaz-MEEN. Of the 6 Yasmine's I've come in contact with in my life so far five of them went by the former way and only one used the iambic pronunciation. Whenever I'm in doubt, I just assumed that Americans are pronouncing things the "wrong" way and I'm usually right. I don't mean that as shade since I am an American so...
