Iran proposed the creation of a "BRICS Security Commission" to establish a "new security structure in the international arena" to support the "order and security of the future world." Ali Akbar Ahmadian, secretary-general of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC), made the suggestion while speaking at a BRICS meeting in St. Petersburg, Russia, on Wednesday.
The BRICS Security Commission would address issues such as "terrorism, fundamentalism, narcotics, misappropriation of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, maritime insecurity, human trafficking, unauthorized biological activities as well as threats in cyberspace," as reported by Breitbart News.
This is despite Iran's status as the global leader in state-sponsored terrorism, as well as other BRICS countries' cruelty against their adversaries and civilians.
It appears that Iran is sincerely interested in establishing a commission to formalize the United States' retirement as a global security guarantor. Ahmadian has arranged a meeting with representatives from the expanded "BRICS+" list of associated nations and aspiring members, which includes Indonesia, Turkey, Vietnam, Venezuela, and Nicaragua, after departing the BRICS security meeting in St. Petersburg to meet with Russian officials.
The BRICS alliance - which includes Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa - has been increasing as developing countries wish to eliminate their dependence on the US dollar. At the beginning of 2024, Iran, Ethiopia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) were admitted as members. Saudi Arabia has also verbally consented to membership but has not yet formalized its involvement in the organization. Argentina was extended an invitation to participate; however, it declined.
