Iran's Deputy FM Kazem Gharibabadi says peace in the Strait of Hormuz will bring safety and security, criticizes US diplomacy, and backs India's BRICS chairship.

"Strait of Hormuz situation will be better than before once peace is established. - Kazem Gharibabadi"

New Delhi, May 13

Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, said that the situation in the Strait of Hormuz will be better once peace is established.

Gharibabadi, in a conversation with ANI, said that the US was not engaged in serious diplomacy.

"Strait of Hormuz situation will be better than before once peace is established. There will be transparency. There will be no discrepancy. We will not go beyond international law. If peace is established, it will have more safety and security than before," he said.

"US is not doing serious diplomacy," Gharibabadi said.

"We don't have sophisticated military equipment. The US and Israel are defeated only by Iranian missiles."

He then said that Iran backs India's chairship in BRICS.

Ahead of the BRICS Foreign Ministers' Meeting being hosted by India, Gharibabadi said "We are in favour of having the BRICS Declaration. We want the BRICS hosted by India to be successful. We don't want to give the message that BRICS is divided. Only one neighbouring country of Iran is pushing to put condemnation of Iran for attacking its neighbours," Gharibabadi told ANI.

"We have not attacked neighbouring countries. They handed territories to the US. Thousands of times, attacks are launched on Iran from there. We have documented each attack in 500 pages for the UN. We cannot accept that," he added.

Due to a lack of consensus, a Chair's Summary was issued after the meeting of BRICS Deputy Foreign Ministers and Special Envoys on the Middle East and North Africa last month in New Delhi.

The Chair's Summary said that members expressed deep concern on the recent conflict in the Middle East and offered views and assessments on the matter.

Good to see Iran backing India's BRICS chairship—shows they value our leadership. But the whole '500 pages of evidence' business... if they have proof of attacks from neighbors, they should share it more openly. Without that, it's just claims. For India's sake, I hope Hormuz peace comes soon; our energy security depends on it. 🇮🇳

Bhai, Iran saying they don't have sophisticated military equipment but then claiming missiles defeated US and Israel—that's a bit contradictory, na? 😅 Either they're underselling themselves or overselling. Anyway, as an Indian, I just want safe sea lanes for trade. BRICS needs to stay united, not become another UN-style talking shop.

Peace in Hormuz is a global necessity, but Iran's narrative feels one-sided. They blame the US for no diplomacy while simultaneously threatening with missiles. India walks a tightrope here—balancing energy needs from the Gulf with ties to the West. Hope the BRICS summit delivers real substance, not just statements.

The part about 'one neighboring country pushing condemnation'—clearly pointing at UAE or Saudi. 🤔 For India, this is delicate. We have good ties with both Iran and Gulf states. Tehran's insistence on not attacking neighbors seems defensive; if they have evidence, the UN should act. Otherwise, Hormuz peace remains a dream.
