ANALYSIS BY COUNTRY
BRAZILDOMINANT ANGLE
Brasilia weighs the economic implications of the US-Iran deal through the lens of the global South: the reopening of Ormuz conditions oil, fertilizer, and food prices, while non-aligned diplomacy of the BRICS seeks a negotiated outcome without aligning with Washington.
