Show Notes
Nima Rostami Alkhorshid:
- Are Indian policymakers aware of the risks of not acting in their own interests within BRICS?
- Could BRICS members see closer military collaboration beyond current agreements?
- How should Iran approach its foreign policy after recent attacks by the U.S. and Israel?
- What impact will the Zangezur Corridor have on Iran and Russia’s regional strategies?
- Is the current Iranian administration capable of effective strategic decision-making?
Pepe Escobar:
- India’s internal contradictions and hesitations may cost them influence in BRICS if they don’t act decisively.
- Military collaboration could expand, especially if geopolitical pressure increases, though it’s not yet formalized.
- Iran is strengthening defense ties with China and Russia, acquiring advanced jets and preparing for long-term deterrence.
- If the corridor isolates Iran, both Iran and Russia may act together, but this risks escalation with Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Israel.
- The current administration seems hesitant and lacks clarity, possibly due to internal divisions and misplaced optimism about the U.S.
