The Ministry declared that stopping the war necessitates &quot;dismantling its sources and holding accountable those who committed violations and those who breached international humanitarian law.&quot; This stance underscores a commitment to justice for crimes, including those committed by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Darfur, which the government emphasizes must be addressed.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the Ministry has vehemently rejected any peace initiatives that include &quot;those who support the perpetrators of crimes and remain silent about them&quot; as partners in ending the war. This position extends to a broader rejection of &quot;solutions imposed from abroad,&quot; with the government stressing its keenness to end the war, halt state destruction, and prevent the starvation of its people through internally driven means. Sudan&#39;s Sovereign Council leader Abdel Fattah al-Burhan has previously stated that the Sudanese people will not accept any foreign-imposed solutions or governments.<\/p>\n<p>The Sudanese Foreign Ministry has also openly challenged the international community, particularly the UN Security Council. It stated that the &quot;credibility of the Security Council is at stake due to its overlooking of countries sending weapons to Darfur&quot; and for &quot;violating the arms embargo decision on Darfur.&quot; This criticism comes amidst ongoing accusations by Sudan that a permanent member of the Security Council and a &quot;regional sponsor&quot; are obstructing effective action and supplying weapons to the RSF. The Ministry has unequivocally condemned the &quot;international silence regarding the &#39;war crimes&#39; committed by the Rapid Support Forces,&quot; with reports from various international bodies detailing systematic violence, mass killings, sexual violence, and ethnic targeting attributed to the RSF. The government has also previously rejected UN-backed famine declarations, while emphasizing efforts to prevent starvation.<\/p>\n<h2>Escalating Tensions at Al-Aqsa Mosque<\/h2>\n<p>In a separate development, reports from February 8, 2026, indicate that &quot;settlers stormed Al-Aqsa Mosque under the protection of the occupation police.&quot; This incident highlights the persistent and volatile tensions surrounding religious sites in the region, which frequently lead to heightened instability.<\/p>\n<h2>Iran&#39;s Acknowledgment of Regional Concerns<\/h2>\n<p>Meanwhile, the Head of Iran\u2019s Strategic Council on Foreign Relations made a notable admission, stating, &quot;We made mistakes that caused fear among some neighboring countries.&quot; This rare acknowledgement comes as Iran navigates complex regional dynamics and international scrutiny over its foreign policy and nuclear program. While the exact context of these &quot;mistakes&quot; was not immediately detailed, the statement suggests a potential shift in rhetoric, or at least an awareness of the impact of Iran&#39;s actions on regional stability and its neighbors&#39; perceptions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways Sudan&#39;s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has issued a series of strong
