Iran Speaker to skip BRICS meet, as Iran seeks bilateral air route for ‘humanitarian aid’ from India

Iran's Speaker has decided to skip the BRICS meeting, citing the country's efforts to establish a direct air route for humanitarian aid from India. This move is significant because it highlights Iran's ongoing struggle to receive essential medicines from India, which are currently being diverted through a third country due to U.S. sanctions concerns. The issue has been a point of contention between Iran and India, with Tehran insisting that humanitarian aid is exempt from sanctions. This development may have implications for trade and diplomatic relations between the two countries.
