- BRICS leaders adopted a joint declaration at their India summit urging 'maximum restraint' in the Middle East and condemning unilateral sanctions against member states.
- Oil prices are rising as the BRICS summit convenes, with Iran now at the table alongside member states rather than diplomatically isolated.
Why it matters: The bloc's inclusion of Iran and its joint call for restraint positions BRICS as a diplomatic counterweight to Western sanctions policy, with energy markets already pricing in the geopolitical tension as oil climbs.
