Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian and Russian President Vladimir Putin criticized Western sanctions and urged BRICS nations to deepen economic cooperation, according to remarks at the BRICS Business Forum in New Delhi.
He also warned that the conflict involving Iran, the United States and Israel has entered a dangerous phase, with consequences for global energy markets.
Putin similarly condemned Western pressure on Russia, saying Moscow faces more than 30,000 sanctions. He argued that BRICS provides a durable platform for economic growth and said Russia wants stronger cooperation with Global South nations in trade, tourism and private investment.
The report noted that the conflicts involving Iran and Russia have contributed to energy disruptions and higher fuel costs. U.S. crude prices recently moved above $100 per barrel, while American diesel prices reached a record $6 per gallon.
