During his address on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in India, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian announced on Friday that the pressures on Tehran have "reached a dangerous stage" following the US-Israeli attack that commenced on February 28. Pezeshkian clarified that
his country has endured severe sanctions in recent years, noting that these pressures have escalated to a critical and dangerous point in recent months, specifically after the military aggression launched by the United States and Israel against Iran. He also indicated
that the world is currently experiencing a period of unprecedented complexity. Pezeshkian's visit to India holds particular significance, being his first since assuming the presidency. This places the ongoing conflict in the Middle East firmly on the summit's agenda for discussion. The
BRICS group was established in 2009 as a forum for major emerging economies, aiming to enhance their influence within institutions dominated by Western powers. The group later expanded to include Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates.
