Iran – USA: in India, the BRICS summit redefines the balance of power

A joint statement on the Middle East was adopted by BRICS leaders in New Delhi, shifting the diplomatic focus towards a bloc of twenty-one powers. This change comes after over six months of American pressure, failing to isolate Iran, which is supported by China and Pakistan. Jean-Joseph Boillot believes that Iran is the big winner of this summit, as the statement specifically targets the United States and the Trump administration.
