Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi is likely to visit New Delhi for the BRICS Foreign Ministers' Meeting on May 14-15, although reports indicate he may be replaced by Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi due to escalating tensions in West Asia. This meeting is crucial as it marks Iran's first significant diplomatic engagement since conflicts intensified in the region. BRICS, which expanded in 2024 to include Iran and other countries, serves as a platform for discussing economic cooperation and geopolitical stability. Iran seeks to leverage this meeting to advocate for BRICS to take a more proactive stance in addressing the crisis in West Asia, a message Araghchi reportedly communicated to India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar in March. The meeting will also facilitate the first direct discussions between Iranian officials and their Emirati and Saudi counterparts since the outbreak of the war. Despite the importance of the meeting, BRICS has struggled to issue a unified statement regarding the conflict, reflecting the ongoing divisions among member states.
