BRICS summit in New Delhi produces joint declaration amid divisions over Iran war and trade
The BRICS summit held in New Delhi on September 12-13, 2026, produced a unanimous joint declaration despite divisions among members over the Iran war and trade tariffs. The declaration called for maximum restraint in the Middle East and condemned indiscriminate tariffs without naming the United States, Israel, or Iran. India, holding the chairmanship, framed the bloc as not anti-Western while navigating competing interests among members including Iran and the UAE.
