** Welcome To The Emerging World Order 2025 **

India is chairing BRICS in 2026 at the exact moment the Israel–United States–Iran war is putting the bloc under maximum pressure. In this episode, we break down why New Delhi is caught between Iran, Israel, the United States, and the Gulf, why BRICS expansion has made internal contradictions harder to manage, and whether India can act as the stabilizing power that prevents the bloc from fragmenting.

This is not just a Middle East war story. It is a test of multipolarity itself. Can BRICS survive a major war when its own members sit on different sides of the crisis? And can India hold the bloc together without losing its strategic balance?

India’s official BRICS 2026 chairship theme emphasizes resilience, cooperation, and sustainability, while New Delhi has also publicly called for dialogue and closely monitored maritime safety, shipping, energy flows, and the welfare of Indian nationals during the West Asia crisis. That is exactly why this episode focuses not just on diplomacy, but on systems: energy, shipping, bloc politics, and strategic balancing.
