The Sudan Founding Alliance (TASIS) has accused General al-Burhan’s army (SAF) and allied Islamist militias of acting as a regional arm of Iran, warning that the relationship reflects a broader network linking the Muslim Brotherhood to Tehran.
In a statement issued Friday, the alliance said forces aligned with the SAF, including Islamist brigades and so-called “joint forces,” have effectively become instruments of the Iranian regime in the region.
“We have repeatedly stated that this criminal army is nothing more than the army of the terrorist Muslim Brotherhood and the dissolved National Congress regime that was removed by the December Revolution of 2018,” the statement said.
According to TASIS, the current war in Sudan has increasingly exposed what it described as ideological and operational links between the SAF’s Islamist factions and Iran.
The alliance argued that many observers had previously attempted to portray the SAF as separate from the Muslim Brotherhood, while equating all sides of the conflict. However, it said recent developments have made those distinctions impossible to sustain.
“Today the truth is clearer than ever,” the statement said. “The crimes are the same, the ideology is the same, and the terrorism is the same.”
The group also condemned what it described as Iran’s growing military activity across the Middle East, accusing Tehran of carrying out attacks against multiple countries in the region, including Gulf states, in ways that threaten broader regional stability.
It noted that even Oman — a country that has long played a mediating role in regional crises — has been affected by rising tensions linked to Iran’s actions.
TASIS said the extremist ideology that shaped Sudan’s political system since 1989 continues to influence armed groups aligned with the SAF, warning that such movements must be confronted to safeguard regional stability.
The alliance pledged that its political and military forces, together with the Peace Government, would continue efforts to confront what it described as extremist and terrorist networks linked to the global Muslim Brotherhood.
“We reaffirm our full solidarity with all peoples suffering from the consequences of this terrorism,” the statement said.
