BRICS foreign ministers meet in India as Iran war, oil prices and divisions test the bloc's unity

The BRICS foreign ministers meeting is testing the bloc's unity amid the Iran war, rising oil prices, and regional interests. Iran urged BRICS nations to condemn the U.S. and Israel, but member states disagreed, preventing a unified stance. Despite BRICS’s efforts to expand its global influence, divisions among member states due to competition and the Russia-Ukraine war are intensifying.
