BRICS, Multipolarity, and Iran’s Strategic Weight
Iran’s accession into BRICS fundamentally shifts the equation. Unlike India, whose strategic autonomy oscillates between Washington and Moscow, Iran’s alignment is structurally oppositional to US pressure architecture. For Russia and China, Tehran functions not merely as a partner but as a geopolitical node controlling maritime chokepoints and energy leverage through the Strait of Hormuz.
If escalation occurs, Russia benefits from energy price spikes. China calculates supply chain vulnerability. The United States balances deterrence credibility against war fatigue. This triangular dynamic complicates any simplistic “strike or surrender” narrative. The Middle East is no longer a unipolar enforcement arena.
