India Navigates Iran War Challenges in BRICS and SCO Amid Divergent Member Interests

The Iran war, initiated by joint US-Israel strikes on February 28, is a key topic at the WION World Pulse event in New Delhi, highlighting challenges for multilateral groups like BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO). Iran, a member of both blocs, complicates consensus as members face divergent interests amid disrupted energy supplies and trade routes. India, chairing BRICS and a major SCO member, seeks a pragmatic, balanced approach focusing on economic cooperation and supply chain resilience while managing geopolitical tensions.
