The BRICS foreign ministers' meeting failed to issue a joint statement on Iran, with divisions among member countries deepening.

ME News report: On May 16 (UTC+8), the BRICS Foreign Ministers’ Meeting held in New Delhi, India, has concluded. Due to significant disagreements among member countries regarding the Iran war and the situation in the Middle East, the countries were unable to issue a joint statement. During the meeting, representatives from each country explained their respective positions and exchanged views on regional security issues. Some member states expressed reservations about the situation in Gaza and security issues in the Red Sea and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi emphasized at the meeting that Iran’s sovereignty is indivisible and called for condemning the military actions of the U.S. and Israel. In addition, Iran accused some regional countries of indirect involvement in the conflict. The UAE and some Gulf countries were accused of having security cooperation with the U.S. and Israel; the UAE denied these allegations and said its position does not match the reports. Analysts noted that the failure to reach a joint statement shows that strategic differences among BRICS countries on Middle East security issues are intensifying. (Source: MLion)

The security of the Strait of Mandeb is indeed everyone's pain point.

The intensification of disagreements is a good thing, indicating that it's not a one-man rule.

It's no longer surprising to see the Gulf countries betting on both ends.

The BRICS countries are not all on the same page either; the Middle East situation is too complicated.
