Last week, the BRICS group expressed "grave concern" over the military strikes against Iran and offered to support Iran in upholding its sovereignty and territorial integrity. This comes amid heightened tensions in the West Asian region following last week's strikes on Iranian military facilities, which killed at least 21 people.
The statement, which did not name the US and Israel, said they "urgently call for a peaceful solution through dialogue and negotiations". This move will hopefully alleviate increasing tensions between the two nations, with Iran vowing revenge for the attack.
The escalation of events has concerned many nations worldwide and threatens to undermine the stability of the entire region.
Russia has been a key player in negotiating between the US and Iran and has previously expressed opposition to Israel's attacks on Iranian territory.
It plans to invite Iranian President Hassan Rouhani to the next summit later this year, an indication that the group wants to involve itself further in the Iran-US conflict.
The group, which accounts for a significant portion of the global economy and is increasingly assertive abroad, appears to be a useful conduit for mediation.
The crisis in the Middle East, exacerbated by attacks on Iran and the ongoing war in Yemen, is threatening to destabilize the entire region.
The involvement of intermediaries like BRICS is one of the few hopeful spots in what looks like an increasingly gloomy scenario.
