BRICS Admired for Condemnation of Israeli War on Iran – Politics news

“Iran is grateful for the strong and unequivocal condemnation by BRICS of the recent Israeli and US military aggression. In no uncertain terms, the deliberate attacks on Iranian civilian infrastructure and nuclear sites under IAEA safeguards violate both international law and norms, the influential group of countries agree,” Abbas Araqchi said in a post on his X account on Monday.

“Here at the BRICS summit in Rio, where representatives of states making up 40% of global GDP and almost half the world’s population have gathered, the tectonic economic & political shifts our planet is witnessing have never been more apparent. Iran welcomes and is delighted to be part of the dawn of a new era,” he added.

Foreign Minister Araqchi has traveled to Brazil to take part in the 17th summit of the BRICS bloc of developing economies in Rio de Janeiro.

The BRICS is a group formed by eleven countries, including Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, United Arab Emirates, Ethiopia, Indonesia, and Iran.

It serves as a political and diplomatic coordination forum for countries from the Global South and for coordination in the most diverse areas.

The objectives of BRICS include strengthening economic, political, and social cooperation among its members, as well as increasing the influence of Global South countries in international governance.

The group seeks to improve the legitimacy, equity in participation, and efficiency of global institutions such as the UN, IMF, World Bank, and WTO. Moreover, it aims to bolster sustainable social and economic development and promote social inclusion.
