India Hosts BRICS Summit as Iran War Fractures Bloc Unity
🌐 BRICS — India chairs a bloc where members are on opposite sides of the war. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: Russia and China back Tehran; Saudi Arabia and UAE — new BRICS members — absorb Iranian proxy strikes. India hosts while buying discounted Iranian oil and deploying quiet neutrality. The summit produces no unified Iran statement precisely because unity is impossible. That silence is the story: BRICS cohesion as a US-counterweight narrative fractures exactly when it should matter most.
