- BRICS convened its 2026 summit in Delhi and adopted a joint declaration urging 'maximum restraint,' per coverage of the bloc's gathering
- PM Modi was captured on video in candid moments with Xi, Putin, and Prabowo during the summit, per The Times of India, while BBC coverage framed the Iran war as both reshaping BRICS ties and exposing divides
Why it matters: The bloc's joint call for restraint on an active conflict signals an attempt at public unity, but BBC's framing that the same Iran war 'exposes divides' indicates BRICS cohesion is being tested by the conflict reshaping member states' relationships.
