Iran’s Araghchi Calls Out Aggressors at BRICS Summit
2 min readSeyed Abbas Araghchi, Iran’s Foreign Minister, delivered a resolute message at the BRICS Foreign Ministers’ gathering in New Delhi: It’s time for the bloc to confront and condemn open defiance of the UN Charter head-on.
Detailing two ‘cruel and illegitimate’ strikes on Iran in the past year, he dismissed justifications rooted in spurious claims. IAEA findings and US intel assessments contradict these narratives entirely, he pointed out, framing Iran as prey to baseless accusations of expansionism and aggression.
The Iranian populace’s resolve shines through waves of pressure and aggression, upholding freedom, autonomy, and pride without concession. ‘We bow to no pressure—past, present, or future,’ Araghchi proclaimed.
Tributes poured for Iran’s military, healthcare workers, teachers, and security teams who braved mortal danger for public safety. Special mention went to the bravery of impacted households, with mothers and youth at the forefront.
Crises only forge Iran stronger, he declared. Diplomacy doors remain open, but defense of sovereignty demands unwavering action.
Disputes with Iran can’t be settled by force, though Iran’s military is primed for ‘decisive countermeasures’ against invaders. Ordinary Iranians seek harmony over hostility.
Araghchi celebrated BRICS as emblematic of shifting global power, with Global South nations gaining prominence. He indicted the US for imperial tendencies, positioning Iran’s resistance as a broader stand against Western overreach.
Urging BRICS action, he demanded public rebukes of US-Israel international law infractions, an end to institutional politicization, and accountability mechanisms for Charter offenders.
The speech ended on a visionary note: BRICS should architect a world order rooted in justice, equilibrium, and humanity.
