'For Iran, Israel is first, America is next. When Israel fights Hamas, we're fighting Iran. When we fight Hezbollah, we fight Iran. When we fight the Houthis, we fight Iran. And when we fight Iran, we're fighting radical terrorism.
We are not just protecting Israel, we're protecting the United States. Our enemies are your enemies. Our fight is your fight. Our victory is your victory.'

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇱/🇮🇷 The Abraham Alliance: Reality or Work of Fiction?
If the United States tried to form this alliance 10 years ago, I would have said that Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Bahrain, Jordan and Egypt would have likely joined. With the Syrian war ongoing, fears about the Nuclear Program and anti-Iranian sentiment at a boiling point, Arab nations felt like they had something to prove.
However, in the Middle East anno 2024, with Iran as an emerging force that has imposed hard power equations upon its neighbours, and following the Iran-Saudi peace deal, I think such an alliance is not feasible. In the very best case scenario, the Kingdom of Jordan and Bahrain would join such an alliance.
Saudi Arabia is openly interested in closer Iran-ties, the UAE mostly follows Saudi policy & is heavily dependent on Iranian imports, and Egypt has a history of refusing alliances and has bigger problems than Iran. None of these countries will be excited at the prospect of an anti-Iran alliance at a time when Iran is rapidly emerging as the pre-eminent geopolitical power in the Middle East.
Jordan, due to its dependence on NATO and the United States, is the most likely to be up for it. They were the only Arab nation to open their airspace to the Israeli Air Force when Iran launched its missile strikes against Israel in April of this year.
Bahrain, which houses the U.S. Persian Gulf fleet, while possiby interested in joining, has also openly voiced its interest in persuing a re-establishment of diplomatic ties with the Islamic Republic of Iran.
In short: the 'Abraham Alliance' will likely end up as a shell of what it could have once been. It will be an empty, shallow alliance, consisting mostly of the United States and Israel, similar to operation Prosperity Guardian, which is widely seen as a flop.

— For comparison; a friend of mine checked the average amount of standing ovations during Kim Jong Un's speeches in North Korea – which averages about 1 standing ovation per 4 minutes of talking
Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of a foreign nation, receives 400% more standing ovations in the United States than Kim Jong Un inside his own personal dictatorship.

— 🇮🇷/🇨🇳/🇵🇰 EXCLUSIVE: The Iranian Ministry of Defense is looking at the potential acquisition of JF-17 'Thunder' Block lll multirole fighter jets from China / Pakistan, incl. PL-12 and PL-15 missiles
While the Su-35 is still Iran's priority due to the urgent need for air superiority fighters in order to defend Iranian nuclear sites, Iran is increasingly looking East for its Air Force needs, due to a lack of confidence in Russia's ability to deliver desired quantities on time. However, Su-35 deal will still go ahead, training jets are already in Iran.
The JF-17 deal is not yet in place, but Iranian experts are now seriously considering these Chinese jets as a possibility. Plans for acquiring the Sukhoi Su-30MK2 from Russia have been put on hold and JF-17 is now the prefered option.

🇮🇷 🇸🇩 🇸🇩 The Iran-Sudan rapprochement: What does it mean for the Red Sea?
🔶️ Sudan’s military government has fully restored diplomatic ties with Iran, ending an eight-year rupture instigated by Saudi Arabia.
🔶️ In separate meetings, Lieutenant General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, Sudan’s military ruler, received the credentials of Iran’s new ambassador, Hassan Shah Hosseini, and dispatched a Sudanese ambassador to Tehran, Abdelaziz Hassan Saleh.
🔶️ Additionally, Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps dispatched several cargo flights to Sudan, allegedly bringing attack drones and other weapons.
🔶️ These developments coincide with a phase of growing cooperation among Arab regional powers to pressure Sudan’s military government to end the nation’s ongoing civil war though negotiations—an option that the military regime has rejected.
🔶️ The Arab powers have given little assistance to Sudan’s military government, which is fighting for its survival against the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a paramilitary originating in the country’s western Darfur region.
🔶️ Based in Port Sudan, Sudan’s military junta has lost control of most of the capital Khartoum, vast parts of western Sudan, and two states in the nation’s agricultural heartland. If it continues to lose territory, it will rule over little more than a rump state along the Red Sea coast and the northern states neighboring Egypt.

— 🇮🇷/🇦🇲 NEW: Iran's ambassador to Armenia officially denies the reports of a $500 million dollar arms deal between Iran and Armenia, reported originally by anti-IR outlet 'Iran International'
He says opposition outlets are inherently untrustworthy and nobody should pay attention to such reports, and that Iran supports stability in the Caucusus region.
Additionally, he said that such reports are only meant to undermine the friendly relations that Iran is developing with countries of the region (Azerbaijan).
