Why this matters

Iran's leadership is signaling increased vulnerability and potential escalation as it seeks to strengthen ties with non-Western powers like India and Russia via BRICS. This reflects a broader geopolitical shift where sanctioned nations attempt to decouple from the US-led financial and security architecture, raising stakes for global energy markets and regional stability.
