- Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi urged all BRICS+ members to explicitly condemn violations of international law by the United States and Israel at the two‑day summit in New Delhi.
- Abbas Araghchi accused the United Arab Emirates of direct involvement in military operations against Iran, alleging the UAE participated in attacks on Iranian territory.
- BRICS+ meeting includes expanded members such as Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, whose relations are strained over the Middle‑East war, and India hosted the foreign ministers.
- India condemned an attack on an Indian‑flagged vessel off Oman as “unacceptable,” highlighting ongoing threats to commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
- Iran claimed the Strait of Hormuz remains open for commercial vessels that “cooperate” with its navy, despite recent disruptions that have driven oil‑gas market volatility.
Why it matters: Iran seeks diplomatic backing to pressure the US and Israel, while the UAE faces isolation; Indian shipping firms risk higher insurance costs as Hormuz volatility persists, affecting oil importers.
