Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi is expected to visit India for the BRICS Foreign Ministers' meeting on May 14-15 in New Delhi amid escalating tensions in West Asia. The meeting will address the regional crisis, economic and energy security concerns, including safe passage for Indian-flagged ships through the Strait of Hormuz. While Araghchi's attendance depends on regional stability, Iran's deputy foreign minister may represent Tehran if needed. The BRICS group faces challenges in issuing a unified statement due to differing views among members.
