(CNN) — Two Iranian warships have docked in Sudan carrying “a message of support and friendship,” Sudanese state media said.
The ships arrived in Port Sudan on Sunday and will stay until Wednesday, according to SUNA, the official Sudanese news agency.
The presence “clearly shows the solid support of political and diplomatic relationships between the Sudanese and Iranian navies,” the agency quoted Sudanese army spokesman Savarmi Khaled Saad as saying Monday.
The warships arrived less than a week after a weapons factory in Khartoum was bombed, killing two people, in what Sudanese officials said was an airstrike by Israel.
