As international talks of a proposed two-week ceasefire in the conflict with Iran made headlines Wednesday, Sudan’s military-led administration made a public move: releasing an official statement condemning recent Iranian strikes on energy facilities in Saudi Arabia’s key Jubail industrial zone. This condemnation marks the latest step in a careful diplomatic repositioning by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Sudan’s de facto head of state and commander of the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF), six weeks after the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran. The move comes as a stark contrast to open public support for Tehran from several factions within Burhan’s own ruling coalition.
