Recent reports have emerged about Sudan receiving military aid from Iran amidst their renewed relations, despite Sudanese Foreign Minister Ali Al-Sadiq Ali's denial of such aid following the re-establishment of ties, and his declaration of the UAE as an enemy of Sudan. Contrary to the Foreign Minister's statements, it has been reported that Sudan's army has begun receiving attack drones from Iran, aiming to strengthen its position in the Red Sea region. This move by Iran is seen as an effort to bolster its proxies in Sudan while also positioning military assets around Saudi Arabia, with claims suggesting we’re at war with Iran. Amidst this, the United States is urged by John Prendergast to apply financial and diplomatic pressure against entities worsening the humanitarian crisis in Sudan, including the United Arab Emirates and Russia’s Wagner paramilitary group. Additionally, Iran's request to build a base on the Red Sea in exchange for military support was reportedly refused by Sudan, even as it armed itself with Iranian drones to enhance its capabilities against the RSF.
