Intelligence information obtained by "Iran International" revealed that the Iranian Revolutionary Guard sent a weapons shipment to Sudan on March 17th via a cargo plane belonging to "Fars Air Qeshm," a company under international sanctions. The data indicates that a Boeing 747 aircraft with the registration code "EP-FAB" took off from Tehran to Port Sudan, where the shipment, suspected to include drones such as "Muhajer 6" and "Ababil 3," along with anti-tank missiles, was secretly delivered. Despite attempts to conceal the flight path by disabling air tracking systems, data from "Flight Radar 24" showed that the plane made a round trip to Port Sudan on the same day. A European intelligence source confirmed that these weapons are intended for the Sudanese army to use against the "Rapid Support Forces" in the ongoing internal conflict. This is not the first time this aircraft has been used in similar operations, having been involved in arms transport operations in the past year. Satellite images and reports have shown Iranian drones used in the Sudanese civil war, along with the presence of "Thunder 2" missiles in Sudanese army camps. This move is part of Iran's efforts to enhance its military influence in the Red Sea region, aiming beyond military support to access uranium reserves in Sudan to support its nuclear program, according to analysis by "Iranian Diplomat" website close to Tehran. The government of Port Sudan, aligned with Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, restored relations with Iran in late 2023 amid escalating conflict in Gaza, paving the way for the resumption of Iranian arms shipments. These developments coincided with Iranian offers to provide the Sudanese government with warships in exchange for establishing naval bases, offers officially rejected but not halting the flow of military shipments.
