Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian addresses BRICS at its summit, criticizing Western sanctions and saying they harm food security and broader global welfare. He calls on BRICS to play a greater role in creating a more balanced, inclusive, and just international order.
Alongside the sanctions remarks, Pezeshkian urges BRICS to take a stronger stance on ongoing conflicts, specifically citing Gaza and Lebanon. The outlets align on the core themes of his speech—sanctions’ effects and BRICS’s role in international responses—but differ in emphasis, with one outlet foregrounding the food-security and global-welfare focus while the other highlights his separate appeals regarding Gaza and Lebanon.
