A major defence deal between Pakistan and Sudan has reportedly collapsed following pressure from Saudi Arabia, highlighting shifting alliances in a region increasingly shaped by Iran-linked tensions. The $1.5 billion package, which included jets, drones, and air defence systems, was expected to strengthen Sudan’s military capabilities before being abruptly halted.
The move comes after controversial remarks by a Sudanese general perceived as pro-Iran, raising alarm in Riyadh. As rivalries intensify across the Red Sea and Gulf, the development signals Saudi Arabia’s strategic recalibration, a setback for Pakistan’s defence exports, and a widening proxy struggle that could redefine the regional balance of power.
