Why Iran is the perfect partner for BRICS+

The spokesperson for the Iranian Foreign Ministry announced at a press conference on Monday that the Islamic Republic has submitted its application for membership in the BRICS.

His country is the perfect partner for BRICS+ for multiple reasons, not least of which is that this group’s RIC core – Russia, India, and China – have converging connectivity interests in the Islamic Republic.

Russia and India cooperate with Iran through the North-South Transport Corridor (NSTC) that Russian Transportation Minister said at the end of May was pretty much his country’s only remaining corridor to the wider global economy nowadays following the US-led West’s unilateral sanctions against it.
