Military cooperation between Sudan and Iran returned months after the official resumption of relations between them in October 2023. Analysts see the return of military cooperation as a tactical benefit in the short term in the war with rapid support, which requires study in the long term.
The Sudanese army continues its war with the Rapid Support Forces, and observers believe that this step will raise the concerns of some Gulf states and the United States. The US sanctions on Sudan, and the siege imposed on the country for more than two decades during the era of deposed President Omar al-Bashir led to Khartoum moving toward military cooperation with eastern countries.
