The conflict between Iran and Israel is escalating, marked by military strikes from both sides. Meanwhile, Iran, having recently joined BRICS, finds itself without the support of its allies.
Diplomatic Support Without Military Scope
Despite expressed support for Iran, Russia has no intention of providing military assistance in the current conflict. President Vladimir Putin condemned Israel's actions and expressed condolences to the Iranian people, but emphasized the lack of military support under the recently signed 'Strategic Partnership Treaty', which contains no mutual defense obligations.
BRICS Tested by Geopolitical Contradictions
Iran had hoped for collective support from BRICS, but reality has shown otherwise. Despite calls from Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baqaei, the group has not issued a unified statement on the conflict. BRICS members like China and India maintain divergent interests, complicating their ability to act jointly.
Conclusion: Iran in Isolation
In the face of military escalation, Iran finds itself in a challenging position without sufficient diplomatic support to mobilize allies. The lack of collective response from BRICS raises questions about the political credibility of the bloc, limiting Iran's ability to counter Israel's aggression.
Thus, Iran's hope for reliance on BRICS support is confronted with the reality that international alliances do not deliver on their promises in critical moments.
