As world leaders convene for the BRICS Summit, the collective’s influence as a champion for the Global South is more apparent than ever. Nations facing conflicts and seeking alternative alliances are increasingly turning to BRICS for support.
Iran, in particular, is looking towards the BRICS nations following its recent tensions with Israel and the United States. With aspirations to join the group, Iran sees BRICS as a potential platform to voice its concerns and strengthen its international partnerships.
“Iran’s engagement with BRICS could reshape regional dynamics,” said an international relations expert. “It offers an avenue for nations to collaborate outside traditional Western-led organizations.”
In Brazil, which is hosting the summit, Iranian immigrants are closely watching the developments. Many hope that increased cooperation between Iran and BRICS nations could lead to positive changes both at home and abroad.
The BRICS alliance—comprising Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa—continues to position itself as a powerful voice for emerging economies. As more nations express interest in joining, the group’s impact on global affairs is poised to grow.
For many in the Global South, BRICS represents a beacon of hope for a more balanced and multipolar world. The summit’s outcomes could signal significant shifts in international relations in the years to come.
