Sudanese Islamists’ Statement: A Call for Jihad in Service of Iran

A recent statement issued by the General Secretariat of the Sudanese Islamic Movement, calling for “jihad in support of the Islamic Republic of Iran”, has raised serious questions. It suggests a growing collusion between General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan and Tehran.

Port Sudan has quietly become a new hub for suspicious activity—bringing together militias, smuggling networks, and intelligence coordination. Most alarming is the reported transfer of Iranian drones and chemical materials to proxy actors like the Houthis and militant groups in Gaza. This cooperation not only inflames the regional conflict but also threatens to turn Sudan into another theater for proxy warfare.
