In his last experience facing the Yankees’ best hitter in a major league game, Luke Weaver was schooled on proper etiquette.  Then pitching for the Reds in 2023, Weaver caught flak from Aaron Judge for not acknowledging him with a head nod when Judge came to bat for the Yankees.  The two were teammates in...

BRICS Summit Can't Muster Joint Statement On Iran War Amid Deepening Division

Via The Cradle

The two-day meeting of BRICS foreign ministers in New Delhi ended on Friday without a joint statement due to "differing views" on the US-Israeli war against Iran and the current situation in West Asia, the Indian government said in a statement. 

Representatives expressed "their respective national positions and shared a range of perspectives," the Indian statement read. The statement added that one member state had "reservations" about issues related to Gaza, as well as security in the Red Sea and the Bab al-Mandab Strait. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said during the meeting that "Iran is a country that cannot be divided. The era of American dominance is over."

He also singled out the UAE for blocking the ministerial BRICS statement, and pointed out its "own special relationship with Israel."

The BRICS meeting coincided with major tensions between the Islamic Republic and the UAE – both bloc members. Tehran has repeatedly slammed the direct Emirati involvement in the US-Israeli war. 

On Thursday during the BRICS summit, Araghchi urged all members of the bloc to condemn the "unlawful aggression" by the US and Israel. 

Araghchi directly addressed the Emirati representative during the meeting, calling Abu Dhabi an "active partner" in the war on Iran. 

"I didn’t name the UAE in my [opening] statement for the sake of unity. But the truth is that the UAE was directly involved in the aggression against my country. When the attacks started, they didn’t even issue a condemnation," Araghchi said. 

The comments were a response to remarks made by the Emirati representative during the BRICS meeting, according to Iranian media reports. Iranian media did not specify exactly what the UAE representative said.

The Emirati government denied a statement this week by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said he visited the UAE during the war. 

According to a newer report by Israel’s Broadcasting Corporation (KAN), Israeli army chief Eyal Zamir and other military officials also visited the UAE during the war on Iran. 

Since the 2020 Abraham Accords, Israel and the UAE have dramatically accelerated cooperation in security, trade, and other fields.

The UAE and Saudi Arabia both opened up their air bases to US jets for attacks on the Islamic Republic throughout the war. Israel also deployed an Iron Dome system to the UAE, along with a crew to operate it. According to new western media reports, both the UAE and Saudi Arabia carried out their own military strikes against Iran.

In a mid-April letter, Iran’s UN envoy said Tehran will be demanding compensation from five Arab states, charging them with direct involvement and participation in the US-Israeli war.

Beijing Showcased Future War Machines While Trump Was In Town

The 11th China Military Intelligent Technology Expo opened Thursday at the China National Convention Center in Beijing, showcasing a lineup of drones, robotic war dogs, grenade launchers, wheeled unmanned systems, artificial intelligence, and other modern battlefield technologies.

The key takeaway is that many of these once-futuristic war machines have moved well beyond the conceptual stage and are already being tested, fielded, or deployed across multiple Eurasian conflict zones.

This year's theme focuses on integrating technological innovation with industrial development, highlighting Beijing's push to accelerate its military intelligence capabilities.

Timing is also important because the expo occurred on the same day President Trump was in Beijing.
