Brics leaders meeting in Rio de Janeiro condemned recent bombing campaigns against Iran on Sunday, calling the strikes a “violation of international law” and “deliberate attacks” on civilian infrastructure, but avoided direct mentions of the US and Israel.
The joint declaration, coming against the backdrop of US President Donald Trump’s threats to impose tariffs of 100 per cent on imports from Brics countries, underscored an apparent effort to state the members’ position without directly provoking the “America First” leader as they separately negotiate trade deals with Washington.
