SKY YORK Journal | Sudan’s war has taken on a new and alarming dimension. According to leaked intelligence and multiple security reports, Iran has transferred chemical weapons and long-range missile components into Sudan, embedding them within secret facilities and military infrastructure controlled by the Sudanese Armed Forces and Islamist networks.
From Bandar Abbas to Sudan’s Heartland
The shipments reportedly originated at Iran’s Bandar Abbas port, passed through Asmara in Eritrea, and were then moved overland into Sudan. Once inside the country, the cargo — which included precursor materials for banned chemical agents such as chlorine — was distributed into hidden storage sites.
Among the most notable: the Kadro slaughterhouse site, used as a temporary holding facility, and the newly established Oseif base on the Red Sea, believed to be part of a broader Iranian plan to secure a strategic foothold in Africa.
Files Linking Sudanese Officers
Leaked documents from Syrian intelligence archives — smuggled to Washington by a defected officer — revealed direct connections between Iran, Sudan’s military leadership, and Islamist operatives. One key figure named is Major General Mirghani Idris Suleiman, a close associate of General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan. Suleiman is alleged to have played a central role in receiving and storing chemical shipments, as well as overseeing the technical infrastructure to weaponize them.
Why Sudan? Iran’s Strategic Calculation
Analysts note that Iran’s decision to relocate parts of its sensitive weapons program was driven by:
-
Israeli strikes on its assets in Syria, Lebanon, and inside Iran itself.
-
The need for a less monitored environment in which to conceal weapons.
-
Sudan’s status as a fragmented, war-torn state where Islamist allies retain influence.
By exploiting Sudan’s collapse, Tehran aims to use the country not only as a storage hub but also as a launchpad to threaten Israeli and allied interests across the Red Sea.
Sudan’s Military in Moral and Strategic Collapse
Instead of defending its citizens, Sudan’s army has allegedly partnered in a project that endangers the entire region. The reported presence of Iranian drones, missiles, and now chemical weapons in Sudan points to a dangerous alignment between Khartoum’s Islamist-backed leadership and Tehran’s expansionist agenda.
For Sudan, the consequences are catastrophic: more destruction at home, and the risk of becoming a battlefield in Iran’s proxy confrontation with Israel.
A Regional and Global Warning
What is unfolding is no longer just Sudan’s internal war. It is a regional security crisis with global implications. The presence of chemical weapons on Sudanese soil demands urgent international attention.
As SKY YORK Journal concludes: without decisive intervention, Sudan risks being transformed into a staging ground for chemical warfare, sacrificing its people to a conflict engineered far beyond its borders.
