The speech also reflected the growing importance of BRICS as a geopolitical platform after its recent expansion. Iran officially joined the bloc as part of its enlargement process, and Tehran now sees BRICS as an important forum for promoting multipolar cooperation. Iranian officials attending the summit repeatedly described BRICS as a group capable of challenging what they called monopoly and coercive global systems. (Press TV)

However, the discussions revealed internal disagreements within the organization. Iranian representatives reportedly expressed frustration that BRICS members have not yet reached a common position on the ongoing West Asia conflict. Tehran specifically pointed to differences with the United Arab Emirates over the wording of any joint statement related to the crisis. These divisions underline the challenge facing BRICS as it expands into a broader coalition with diverse political interests and regional rivalries. (The Economic Times)
