At the 17th BRICS Summit held in Rio de Janeiro, the member nations issued a joint declaration condemning the military strikes against Iran since June 13, 2025, describing them as violations of international law and the United Nations Charter. While the statement expressed serious concerns over attacks on civilian infrastructure and peaceful nuclear facilities in Iran, it notably avoided naming Israel or the United States, the countries implicated in the strikes. The BRICS bloc also reiterated its call for the establishment of a nuclear-weapon-free zone in the Middle East, emphasizing the region's need to be free of weapons of mass destruction. Additionally, the declaration called for an immediate, permanent, and unconditional ceasefire in Gaza, urging the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from the Gaza Strip and supporting the unification of the West Bank and Gaza.

The summit statement backed the establishment of an independent Palestinian state and endorsed a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Beyond Middle Eastern issues, BRICS voiced serious concerns about the rise of unilateral tariffs, implicitly referencing the Trump administration's trade policies, and welcomed Indonesia as a new member of the bloc. The declaration also condemned attacks on Russian infrastructure in Bryansk and Kursk. The BRICS leaders emphasized multilateralism and called for comprehensive reform of the United Nations Security Council.
