Brics+ issues no collective declarationcollective declaration during current Iran war
Brics+ issued no collective declaration during the current Iran war unlike its June 2025 joint statement on international law. The absence of a unified position marks a departure from the bloc's prior diplomatic cohesion during the earlier confrontation.
This shift may signal evolving tensions within the organization over how to address the ongoing conflict.

South China Morning Post notes that unlike the June 2025 confrontation involving Iran, when Brics+ issued a joint statement emphasizing respect for international law and the UN Charter, the bloc failed to produce any comparable collective declaration this time, suggesting a shift in the organization's diplomatic cohesion.
- Brics+ was founded in 2009 as an alternative forum to Western-dominated economic groups.
- The UN Charter has been cited in over 150 international court cases since 1945.
- Iran was not a member of Brics+ during its 2009 founding but joined later as the group expanded.

President Donald Trump declared the US-Iran interim ceasefire over on July 8, 2026, after launching strikes on more than 170 Iranian military targets following fresh Iranian attacks on commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz, which also expired the 60-day memorandum of understanding signed in mid-June.
