Strategic Strike in Port Sudan Reveals Foreign Involvement, Iranian Arms, and Complicity of the Islamic Movement

In a serious development on the Sudanese scene, the city of Port Sudan has witnessed intense airstrikes in recent days targeting military facilities believed to house foreign experts and Iranian weapons shipments. The strikes resulted in the deaths of dozens of these experts and the destruction of large quantities of ammunition and advanced defense technologies.

Details of the Strike:

A high-ranking military source with access to security and military files in Port Sudan disclosed that the airstrikes, carried out by precision-guided drones, targeted sensitive sites where foreign military experts were stationed. These experts had been recently brought in to train members of the army and battalions of the Islamic movement in the use of advanced weapons and military technologies.

The source added that the raids were executed with high precision, specifically targeting the “experts’ quarters,” resulting in numerous fatalities among them — suggesting the attackers had access to detailed intelligence on their movements and locations.

Uncertainty Over Who Carried Out the Attack:

While the Sudanese army quickly accused the Rapid Support Forces of carrying out the strikes, military analysts and experts questioned the RSF’s capacity to operate such advanced drones, fueling speculation of foreign involvement — particularly by Israel, which has previously conducted similar strikes on Iranian weapons in Syria and Yemen.

The attack targeted critical areas, including the military section of Port Sudan Airport and the Dagana military base, indicating that the main objective was recently delivered military shipments from Tehran, believed to include drones and advanced weapon systems.

Scandal of the Islamic Movement and al-Burhan’s Silence:

While the strikes have exposed the extent of Iranian infiltration in Sudan and the Islamic movement’s involvement in smuggling advanced weaponry into the country, the movement’s leaders have completely vanished from public view. Abdel Fattah al-Burhan has remained silent, failing to condemn the foreign cooperation or clarify his stance on the entry of Iranian arms into Sudan.

This retreat by Islamic leadership reflects a state of panic and confusion, especially following the deaths of many of their members and the foreign trainers they had brought in. It also reinforces accusations of a secret coordination between the Islamic movement and Tehran to move advanced weapons into Sudan, possibly for future use in regional or internal conflicts.

What happened in Port Sudan was not merely a military strike, but a major intelligence and security blow. It exposed the scale of foreign infiltration and Iranian involvement in Sudanese territory, while highlighting the troubling silence and cowardly withdrawal of the Islamic movement’s leaders. Sudan appears to be increasingly turning into a battleground for regional power struggles, fought through local proxies.
