Iran and the UAE hold their highest-level meeting since regional hostilities began, with President Masoud Pezeshkian and Abu Dhabi Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed Al Nahyan meeting during the BRICS Summit in New Delhi. Both sides agree to “turn the page” and support de-escalation, while Iran says its dispute is with U.S. military bases, not Gulf neighbours. The breakthrough helps BRICS adopt the New Delhi Declaration, calling for restraint, civilian protection, and secure trade and energy flows. India is credited as the key diplomatic bridge.
