In an exclusive interview with Al Arabiya’s General Manager Turki Aldakhil, Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir discussed Sudan’s participation in the Decisive Storm Operation in Yemen and Iran\u2019s activity in the region, the following is a part of this interview.<\/p>\n
Bashir said he met with King Salman bin Abdulaziz Al Saud when he was still the Crown Prince and discussed Yemen and how dangerous the situation was there.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe in Sudan feel that the situation in Yemen poses a threat to us,\u201d he said, adding that he informed high-ranking Saudi officials of this point of view.<\/p>\n
Once the Decisive Storm Operation was declared, Sudan immediately joined forces through a number of military aircraft and Sudanese troops present on the ground in Aden, the president said. \u201cWe are also preparing troops to send them to the kingdom and to Yemen,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Iranian ambitions<\/p>\n
On Iran and its activity in the region, Bashir said Saudi Arabia had information about carrying out certain activities against the kingdom from Sudan. \u201cWe’ve always confirmed that we will not allow our land to be exploited against the kingdom,\u201d he said, adding that the Iranian activity in Sudan created some sort of sensitivity. \u201cIn the end, we were convinced that this activity must be stopped,\u201d Bashir said.<\/p>\n
Bashir accused the Americans of establishing a Shiite state in Iraq after the collapse of Saddam Hussein’s regime and thus helping Iran to expand. \u201cThis gave Iran control over four Arab capitals — Damascus, Beirut, Baghdad and Sanaa,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs this the end of Iran’s ambitions or does it have other aims? I think Tehran has other aims,\u201d Bashir added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
