Rashti embroidery, a centuries-old traditional craft from Iran’s northern Gilan province, is showcasing the country’s rich artistic heritage to international visitors at a handicrafts exhibition held on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in New Delhi.

Iran is working to remove the obstacles preventing its membership in the BRICS Bank, says the foreign minister.

President Masoud Pezeshkian says the upcoming summit of the BRICS group of emerging economies provides a chance to strengthen multilateralism in international relations.

Iranian officials issued a defiant message on Thursday, portraying the country's resilience and regional profile as stronger than ever before in the wake of the US-Israeli war of aggression.

Iran will not engage in negotiations with the United States on its nuclear program unless the White House steps back from a recently reinstated “maximum pressure” campaign, Foreign Minister Araghchi says.

Iran's FM underscores the growing power of BRICS that has overshadowed that of the West.

That includes, President Pezeshkian said, creating a BRICS currency basket or a new settlement mechanism independent of the dollar.
