Iran's Foreign Minister to Attend BRICS Meeting in India Amid Strait of Hormuz Discussions

Iran's Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi is expected to visit New Delhi on May 14-15 to attend the BRICS Foreign Ministers' meeting amid ongoing tensions in West Asia. India and Iran plan to discuss the safe passage of Indian-flagged ships through the Strait of Hormuz, where around 40-50 vessels are currently delayed, impacting India's energy security. The meeting, under India's BRICS chairmanship, will also address regional stability and multilateral cooperation, with participation from other key members like Russia. The expanded BRICS bloc faces challenges in reaching consensus on the West Asia conflict due to differing member positions.
