Araghchi, addressing reporters in New Delhi, said that “parts of” the final statement of the Brics ministerial were “blocked by a certain country which has its own special relation with Israel”.

He termed the development “unfortunate,” stressing the country, which he did not name, “stopped the statement due to their support for Israel and the US in their aggression against Iran”.

He expressed hope that the “country will come to an understanding that we are neighbours and have to live with each other”.

“The Israeli and Americans cannot protect them,” he added.
