Iran has assured India of safety of its ships crossing the troubled waters of Strait of Hormuz.
Seyyed Abbas Araghchi, the foreign minister of Iran was in New Delhi for two days to take part in the BRICS Foreign Minister’s meeting.
On Friday the 15th of May 2026 he held talks with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar where he affirmed that friendly nations can rely on Iran for commerce safety and added that Iran will extend all possible help to provide security in Hormuz.
In a social media message tweeted on X, the Iranian foreign minister said, “In fruitful engagement with my host External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, discussed regional developments and clarified that Iran will always carry out historical duty as protector of security in Hormuz. Iran is a reliable partner of all friendly nations, who can rely on safety of commerce.”
Seyyed Abbas Araghchi said that everyone knows about USA’s bullying behaviour against Iran. In his interactions with other foreign ministers at the BRICS meeting in Delhi, he called on all member states who have encountered similar instances to speak in one voice on this issue.
Araghchi posted a message on X stating that he “told BRICS FMs summit: Iran’s resistance against U.S. bullying is not an unfamiliar battle. So many of us encounter slight variations of same repugnant coercion. High time for us to jointly step up and work towards making clear that those practices belong in dustbin of history.”
At the conclusion of the meeting the Outcome Document at BRICS Foreign Ministers’ Meeting expressed full support to India’s BRICS Chairship in 2026 under the theme: “Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability”, which reflects that cooperation among BRICS members can help address shared challenges in a balanced and inclusive manner.
