Iran's expansion into Africa is a significant development in its ongoing conflict with Israel and the West. This shift in strategy has global consequences, affecting stability, security, and the international economy. Iran's growing partnership with Sudan, as well as its alliances with other African countries, gives it the potential to disrupt maritime traffic and destabilize Western interests in the region. The US must take a more aggressive stance to counter this threat, reinstating sanctions and holding Iran's key players accountable.
