A two-day meeting of BRICS (a bloc of major developing economies including Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, along with newer members such as Iran, Indonesia and the UAE) foreign ministers in New Delhi concluded on Friday without a joint statement, after internal divisions over the ongoing war involving Iran prevented consensus. Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi pressed member states to condemn what he called "violations of international law" by the United States and Israel, while the UAE representative accused Iran of launching roughly 3,000 missile and drone attacks on his country during the conflict. The failure to agree on a shared communiqué underscores the strain the war is placing on a bloc that presents itself as a unified voice for the Global South and a driver of a multipolar world order.
