Iranian backing via Houthis for Sudanese groups
A report by Foreign Affairs magazine reveals that Iran and its associated networks, including the Houthis, are expanding their influence in Sudan by supporting Islamic factions and training them in weapon and drone manufacturing. It is believed that the Houthis have transferred their military and technical expertise to groups in Sudan, marking a strategic shift for the Axis of Resistance from merely supplying weapons to empowering local groups through capacity-building and training. This development enhances Iran's influence in the region via the Red Sea corridor and increases the ability of these factions to independently produce and operate weapons. The report points to growing cooperation between the Houthis and the longstanding ties between Sudan and Iran, including deliveries of weapons and expertise, which deepen regional threats and complicate the ongoing conflict in Sudan.
