Iran, Russia and China Call for Halt to Escalating Middle East War at BRICS Summit
The 11-nation bloc urged maximum restraint after intense diplomacy by host India, seeking to curb escalation and protect energy security and trade.
- On Saturday, the 11-nation Brics group issued a joint statement at their New Delhi summit calling for "maximum restraint" in the Middle East, overcoming earlier divisions on regional conflict.
- Foreign ministers previously failed to agree on a joint statement in May, with Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates divided over the war that began with US-Israeli strikes on February 28.
- Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi noted Brics nations "represent 50 percent of the world's population, 40 percent of global GDP and more than 25 percent of global trade," while Chinese President Xi Jinping stated the Middle East war "does not serve the common interests of the international community."
- Xi and Modi met in New Delhi, marking a cautious thaw between nuclear-armed rivals six years after a deadly border clash; the leaders expressed commitment to a "fair, reasonable, and mutually acceptable resolution of the boundary question."
- Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian warned the Middle East does not need the United States to be a "regional policeman," even as deep mistrust persists regarding the contested Himalayan frontier between China and India.
