Al-Burhan’s alliance with Iran poses a challenge to Egypt and Saudi Arabia’s security
Sudan, ravaged by wars, its lands barren, resources depleted, and its security turned into fear and conflict, split in turmoil and strife. This country, once rich in natural resources, now finds its people struggling for sustenance due to the ambitions of the Muslim Brotherhood, fighting for their livelihoods, for which some pay with their lives.
Iranian drones besieging Saudi Arabia
According to Bloomberg, Iran supplying drones to al-Burhan has contributed to encircling Saudi Arabia from all directions. These remotely controlled drones can cover every inch of Saudi Arabian territory. This scenario reflects an unprecedented advancement in Iran’s ability to exert strategic influence in the Gulf region.
In the face of rapid developments in drone technology, their use as a strategic tool could lead to a fundamental change in regional dynamics. Iran has succeeded in developing military capabilities that include a wide range of maritime and aerial drone systems, raising concerns among neighboring countries and escalating tensions in the region.
Burhan-Iran Alliance: A Threat to Egypt’s Security
The alliance between al-Burhan and Iran raises genuine concerns about Egypt’s national security and economic stability. Such an alliance could pose a significant challenge to Egyptian authorities. The threat to national security from a potential alliance with Iran is a sensitive issue that must be addressed seriously.
Economically, Iranian activities in Egypt’s backyard may have negative effects on the Egyptian economy. Iran’s activities could lead to increased tensions and hostilities in the region, affecting investments and tourism, and hampering economic development efforts.
In such a scenario, Egyptian leaders need to adopt effective strategies to deal with this potential challenge. This may include enhancing regional cooperation with partner countries and strengthening defensive capabilities to protect national security. It also requires emphasis on diplomacy and negotiation to achieve regional stability and avoid military escalation.
From Port Sudan to an Iranian Operations Base
This Iranian exploitation in establishing massive camps in the Port Sudan area confirms Iran’s progress in establishing its military base in this region to tighten the noose on Arab countries to target Israel after Hamas‘ defeat. Iran seeks to make this military base a strategic point for launching its military operations to support the Houthis in Yemen and supply Hezbollah with weapons at record speed. This makes it easier for Iran to infiltrate remote Egyptian provinces away from Cairo while simultaneously monitoring Saudi ports with ease.
