The BRICS leaders have condemned the recent airstrikes on Iran and expressed deep concern about the escalation of the conflict in the Middle East, a declaration of the BRICS summit in Rio de Janeiro revealed.
"We condemn the military strikes against the Islamic Republic of Iran since 13 June 2025, which constitute a violation of international law and the Charter of the United Nations, and express grave concern over the subsequent escalation of the security situation in the Middle East. We further express serious concern over deliberate attacks on civilian infrastructure and peaceful nuclear facilities under full safeguards of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), in violation of international law and relevant resolutions of the IAEA," the document read.
The BRICS leaders called on the UN Security Council to uphold nuclear safeguards, safety and security during conflicts to protect people and the environment. They also urged diplomatic efforts to address regional tensions.
The 17th BRICS summit is taking place in Rio de Janeiro from July 6-7.
On the night of June 13, Israel launched an operation against Iran, accusing it of implementing a secret military nuclear program. Iran rejected the accusations, responding with its own attacks. The parties exchanged strikes for 12 days, which were joined by the United States, which carried out a one-time attack on Iran's nuclear facilities on the night of June 22. The following evening, Tehran launched missile strikes on the US base Al Udeid in Qatar. US President Donald Trump said on June 23 that Israel and Iran had agreed to a ceasefire to end the "12-day war."
Iran denies the military dimension of its nuclear program. The IAEA has not seen concrete evidence that Iran has an active nuclear weapons program, Director General Rafael Grossi said on June 18.
