In a move straight out of a geopolitical drama, Sudan and Iran have swapped ambassadors for the first time since 2016, signaling a major glow-up in their diplomatic relationship. 🎉 Chairman of Sudan's Transitional Sovereign Council Abdel Fattah al-Burhan welcomed Iran’s new envoy Hassan Shah Hosseini in Port Sudan this week, calling it the \"start of a new chapter\" for both nations.
🔥 Why it matters: This isn’t just paperwork—it’s a plot twist! The two countries cut ties eight years ago after Sudan backed Saudi Arabia during regional tensions. Now, with ambassadors headed to Tehran and Port Sudan, cooperation on trade, security, and culture could get a Netflix-worthy revival.
💬 Soundbite central: Sudan’s Foreign Ministry Undersecretary Hussein al-Amin called the exchange a \"key ingredient\" for future collaboration. Iran’s ambassador vowed to \"level up\" bilateral ties, while Sudan’s new envoy to Tehran has already packed his bags for duty. ✈️
📅 Flashback: The diplomatic thaw began last October when the two sides agreed to hit the reset button. Think of it as the ultimate 'enemies to allies' trope—but IRL.
