Iran Seeks India's Role in West Asia Peace and Proposes New Hormuz Framework
Iran has expressed strong support for India's diplomatic efforts to foster peace in West Asia, particularly ahead of the upcoming BRICS foreign ministers' conclave. Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, stated during a visit to New Delhi that Tehran is developing a new service-and-payment-based framework for merchant vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz, aligned with international norms. Gharibabadi highlighted internal divisions within BRICS, noting that demands from one member state, implicitly the United Arab Emirates, to condemn Iran have hindered the group from adopting a unified stance on regional conflicts. He praised India's impartiality as the current BRICS chair and emphasized the importance of presenting a cohesive front rather than signaling division. Furthermore, Iran reaffirmed its commitment to the Chabahar port project and defended its military posture, asserting that it has not attacked neighboring countries but responded to threats launched from their territories via US bases. These remarks underscore the strategic diplomatic engagement between Iran and India amidst escalating regional tensions and complex multilateral dynamics within the BRICS alliance.
