Iran launches 30 drones at Israeli air base in Negev, sparking Brics diplomatic rift
On September 13, 2026, Iran launched 30 drones at an Israeli air base in the Negev region, prompting immediate military and diplomatic responses. Brics members convened to discuss the incident, revealing both unity and division over how to address the evolving global order. The attack intensified regional tensions and highlighted internal fractures within the Brics alliance.
Iranian state media reported that the drone strike was a targeted operation against Israeli military infrastructure in the Negev, part of a broader strategy to disrupt regional security. Tehran emphasized that the attack was a proportional response to Israeli actions in the region. Washington, however, condemned the strike as an act of aggression, accusing Iran of destabilizing the Middle East and undermining international peace efforts. The Brics members, while agreeing on the need for a new global order, could not reach consensus on the path forward, with some advocating for multilateral engagement and others pushing for a more assertive stance against perceived threats.
