Iran Courts Traore’s Burkina Faso With Drones, Refinery and Defence Push| Firstpost Africa | N18G

Описание: In the Sahel, Burkina Faso’s leader Ibrahim Traoré is at the forefront of Iran’s new diplomatic and security initiatives aimed at strengthening ties with military governments in the region. High-level talks in Tehran emphasised Africa’s importance to Iran’s strategy, with Burkina Faso identified as a priority partner. Analysts suggest Iran offers security support in exchange for access to resources, specifically seeking mineral deals. Following regional shifts, including France’s military withdrawal and a series of coups, Sahel governments are diversifying their alliances. Iran’s engagement is increasing its influence and expanding its pool of diplomatic partners, positioning the Sahel as a competitive arena for global power.
