- Masoud Pezeshkian said there must be an immediate cessation of U.S.-Israeli aggression to end the war and wider regional conflict, as posted by Iran's Embassy in India on March 21, 2026.
- Masoud Pezeshkian spoke by phone with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging guarantees to prevent future aggression and calling on BRICS to play an independent role in halting aggression against Iran.
- Masoud Pezeshkian proposed a regional security framework composed of West Asian countries to ensure peace and stability through regional cooperation without foreign interference.
- Narendra Modi condemned attacks on critical infrastructure in the region and emphasized the importance of safeguarding freedom of navigation and securing shipping lanes.
- S. Jaishankar discussed the West Asia conflict and its regional implications with Iranian counterpart Seyed Abbas Araghchi.
- BRICS (with India holding the presidency) was urged by Pezeshkian to play an independent role in halting aggression against Iran and safeguarding regional peace.
Why it matters: The proposal gives Iran a diplomatic avenue to curb U.S.-Israeli actions while offering India, as BRICS chair, a chance to shape a non‑foreign‑interfered security architecture, potentially stabilizing regional trade routes and easing tensions for neighboring states and providing a platform for broader diplomatic engagement.
