The page noted that this offer represents, in its words, “a disturbing reminder” of the possibility that extremist regimes and their allies could exploit situations of chaos to target the United States and its allies.

The page also mentioned that the Sudanese armed forces have deepened their relations with Tehran in recent years, noting that they have received Iranian military support, including drones and weapons, in the war against the Rapid Support Forces.
