While countries of the Free World strengthen ties as part of their steady march towards peace, progress, and collective development under the umbrella of BRICS that will soon overtake the economies of the US-led neo-colonialist G-7 group of exploitative states, the racist/terrorist entity ‘Israel’ has stepped up the Gaza genocide, along with increasing killings of the people of Lebanon.

The illegal Zionist entity’s attempt to attack the Islamic Republic a couple of days ago with missiles that were successfully intercepted, was a desperate move by the US against Iran’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, following the Islamic Republic’s admission to the BRICS as a full-fledged member.

The Iranian president’s warm welcome at the Kazan Summit presided over by Russia’s President Vladimir Putin, coupled with the thaw between China and India whose presidents decided for disengagement and détente at their joint border in Laddakh, has indeed scared Washington, and thrown water on its plot to destabilize the two Asian giants whose combined population is 2.8 million people.

Interestingly, the Kazan meeting accepted 13 new countries as partners, taking the influence and size of the grouping of BRICS countries to greater levels.

Over the next few years, the size of the bloc would exceed the economies of the group of seven (G7) Western countries. 

The 13 nations that have become partners of the BRICS are Algeria, Belarus, Bolivia, Cuba, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Malaysia, Nigeria, Thailand, Turkiye, Uganda, Uzbekistan, and Vietnam. 

Over the next decade, member states would be acting independently from Western rules when it comes to financial issues.

The proposed payment system in BRICS, which focuses on using local currencies, is a safe and non-political solution that allows the bloc’s member states to do financial exchanges regardless of Western sanctions and unilateral decisions.

Other plans put forward at BRICS, are inclusive and based on using modern technology, which will guarantee fair financial ties between countries.

BRICS also dominates the global market when it comes to natural resources, providing more than 40 percent of global oil production and about 25% of global raw material exports.

These factors are indicative of the decline of the domineering policies of the US, and along with it, its accomplices in Europe as well as the illegal Zionist entity.

This explains Israel’s massacres in Occupied Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria, as well as its suicidal attempt to attack Iran, which had duly warned of decisive retaliation.
