Iran (KAAB TV) – Russian state broadcaster RT has reported the discovery of an underground tunnel base in Sudan, allegedly constructed by the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). According to the report, the facility has 12 separate entrances and is believed to serve military purposes.
Iran was also the first nation to respond to Sudan’s request for military assistance, providing support that included training, drones, and intelligence analysis. This cooperation marked a renewed phase in Iran-Sudan relations, with the two countries restoring diplomatic ties shortly thereafter.
The release of satellite imagery comes at a sensitive time, coinciding with the resumption of nuclear negotiations between Iran and the United States in Oman. These talks are reportedly fragile, with deep divisions threatening progress. Former U.S. President Donald Trump has issued warnings, stating that should the negotiations collapse, he would consider military action against Iran.
Meanwhile, Israel—long critical of Iran’s regional influence and nuclear ambitions—is closely monitoring developments. It is expected that the suspected base in Sudan could be designated by Israel as a strategic supply hub for Iranian-backed groups in the Middle East, potentially making it a target for future military action.
