Since India assumed the BRICS chairmanship in December 2025, the bloc has remained notably silent on the recent US-Israel war on Iran, a stark contrast to its swift condemnation of similar actions in June 2025. This shift in BRICS's response is attributed to India's growing ties with the US and Israel, potentially overriding the alliance's objectives. BRICS, originally an economic alliance formed in 2009 as an alternative to the G7, has expanded its mandate to include security issues and now comprises 11 members, including Iran. The current silence raises questions about potential divisions within the bloc regarding the conflict and India's influence on its foreign policy stance.
