Key Points

• Iran asked BRICS member-states to adopt a clear and firm position condemning aggression, violations of national sovereignty, attacks on civilians, and destruction of critical infrastructure.
• The Iranian embassy in India said a united BRICS voice in defense of international law would contribute to international peace, security, and stability.
• The appeal came during a BRICS interior ministers’ meeting in New Delhi, with India serving as the bloc’s current chair.
• A BRICS deputy foreign ministers’ and special envoys’ meeting in April ended without a joint statement due to divisions over the West Asia conflict.
• Iran and the United Arab Emirates are both BRICS members directly affected by the conflict, making consensus more difficult.
• The divisions contrast with Brazil’s BRICS presidency last year, when the bloc issued a joint statement condemning strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities.
