Iran Declares Financial Institutions Backing US Military As Targets, Signals Major Escalation

op U.S. economist Jeffrey Sachs has criticised Pakistan’s involvement as a mediator in the ongoing West Asia conflict, calling it “bizarre” and a missed opportunity for the BRICS nations. He highlighted India’s current BRICS presidency, noting that the grouping represents half of humanity and has the clarity and influence to defend a true international system. Sachs appealed to BRICS countries to take a proactive role in promoting peace and stability in the region, stressing that the bloc’s collective power could shape global diplomacy. His comments underscore the strategic importance of BRICS in resolving international conflicts and the need for member nations to act decisively in global peace initiatives.
