Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian is set to attend the upcoming BRICS summit in Russia, as confirmed by Tehran’s ambassador in Moscow. This move comes amidst escalating tensions between Iran and the West over military cooperation with Russia. The United States has voiced concerns, with Secretary of State Antony Blinken alleging that Russia has received ballistic missiles from Iran, raising the specter of their potential use in Ukraine. Blinken emphasized that such cooperation between Moscow and Tehran poses a significant threat to European security.
In another development, Iran’s president is scheduled to make his first foreign trip to Iraq, which adds a layer of geopolitical significance to the region. Meanwhile, the United States, Germany, Britain, and France have jointly imposed new sanctions on Iran, targeting entities such as its national airline Iran Air. Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi has unequivocally denied allegations of delivering ballistic missiles to Russia, dismissing the sanctions as an ineffective measure to address the situation at hand.
