The BRICS group, made up of Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, anticipated its final statement this Sunday after intense negotiations. According to analysis by director CNN in Brasilia, Daniel Rittner, Iran, one of the new members of the bloc, generated a significant impasse that almost compromised the writing of the document.
Discussions focused mainly on the terms of BRICS countries would condemn the Military Attacks of the United States and Israel. After intense diplomatic debate, there was a consensus that repeats mostly a note released two weeks ago.
Diplomatic subtleties and tone elevation
The final text maintains the expression of “deep concerns” with attacks on military targets and nuclear facilities in Iran. However, a subtle change in diplomatic language has been introduced to accommodate Iranian demands.
The statement now “condemns the military actions of the United States and Israel,” a formulation that subtly raises the tone compared to previous communications. This nuance, although unnoticed by the public, is significant in diplomatic circles.
Nuclear Risk Alert
An entirely new element in the statement is the warning about the “increasing risks of danger and a nuclear war.” This unprecedented mention reflects the group’s concern with the escalation of conflict in the Middle East and the prolonged war in Ukraine.
