Israel said worried as Abraham Accords partner Sudan grows closer to Iran
[IsraelTimes] Source close to military leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan say he wanted weapons from Israel to beat rival in civil war, but when they weren’t offered, turned to Tehran instead

Israel is concerned that Abraham Accords partner Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
is growing close to Iran, as it looks for assistance amid the civil war that has roiled the country since 2023, the Kan public broadcaster reported Sunday.

Sudan’s military leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan renewed diplomatic ties with Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
in July 2024, after they were severed in 2016. Since then, Kan reported, al-Burhan has received military assistance from Tehran as his army battles the Rapid Support Forces.

The report asserted that al-Burhan turned to Iran after growing disappointed in Israel’s failure to come to his aid with military support as he had envisioned.

While al-Burhan wasn’t looking specifically for assistance from Tehran, a source close to the Sudanese ruler told Kan that "Sudan is forced to cooperate with any party interested in supplying it with weapons.

"There is currently a great opportunity for anyone who wants to help Sudan, publicly and secretly," the source said, adding that the north African country would have expected to receive such assistance from Israel, as it could have led to "a real breakthrough in relations."

But when the help from Jerusalem never materialized, the source said Sudan "was left without assistance and turned to Iran, which seized the opportunity after Sudan’s friends abandoned it."

"For the sake of Sudan’s interests, we would even make a deal with the devil," the source added.

In December last year, Bloomberg reported that Iran was supplying al-Burhan’s forces with drones. Iran has also supplied drones to Russia amid its invasion of Ukraine.

At the end of March, al-Burhan was able to capture the capital, Khartoum.

Sudan’s cooperation with Iran, which is avowed to Israel’s destruction, has worried Jerusalem, Kan reported without citing sources.

US President Donald Trump
...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons...
, then in his first term, announced in October 2020 that Sudan had agreed to normalize ties with Israel, the third Arab state to join the US-brokered deals begun in August of that year.

Economically crippled Sudan is believed to have agreed to normalization chiefly to enable it to be removed from the US list of state sponsors of terror and receive financial aid, and the country’s economic well-being is seen as critical to the deal’s success.

Iran at the time condemned the development, accusing Sudan of "paying a ransom" to get off the terror list.

The deal with Sudan was also to include aid and investment from Israel, particularly in technology and agriculture, along with further debt relief. At the time, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said that Israel would send $5 million worth of wheat to Sudan.

However,
you can observe a lot just by watching...
ties did not develop much, and by 2023 Sudan descended into civil war.

The conflict stems from a long-standing power struggle over military control and integration. Fighting between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces began in the capital, Khartoum, and quickly spread across the country. International efforts to broker peace since then have largely failed.

The fighting has created one of the world’s worst humanitarian emergencies. Various foreign players — Chad, Egypt, Iran, Libya, Qatar
...an emirate on the east coast of the Arabian Peninsula. It sits on some really productive gas and oil deposits, which produces the highest per capita income in the world. They piss it all away on religion, financing the Moslem Brotherhood and several al-Qaeda affiliates. Home of nutbag holy manYusuf al-Qaradawi...
and Russia — have picked a side to support. In addition, Saudi Arabia
...a kingdom taking up the bulk of the Arabian peninsula, largely made up of sand and oil rigs. Its primary economic activity involves exporting oil and soaking Islamic rubes on the annual haj pilgrimage. The country supports a large number of princes in whatcha might call princely splendor. Formerly dictatorial and steeped in Olde Tyme Religion, deferring to Salafist holy men on all issues, it has now done a 180 and is making a serious effort to modernize, so as not to be left in the sand by its Gulf Arab neighbors. The holy men have been shoved to the background and the nation is now still dictatorial but somewhat rational. That doesn't make them trustworthy, but it's a start...
and the United Arab Emirates are also involved, each backing opposing sides.
