Brics missing in action as war on permanent member Iran spirals

The BRICS bloc is facing a crisis of credibility due to its inaction following a hypothetical Israeli and US attack on Iran, one of its permanent members. Despite the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader, the group has failed to issue a collective statement, exposing deep internal divisions. Individual member responses vary, with India, the current chair, appearing to align with Israel, while other members have expressed concern. This paralysis is seen as a significant blow to the bloc's reputation and its ambition to lead the Global South.
