🕌 UAE and Iran Leaders Meet at BRICS Summit

UAE and Iranian leaders held direct talks at the BRICS summit — their first meeting since the outbreak of the Gaza war — despite severely strained relations between the two Gulf states.

The talks mark a rare moment of direct engagement, though no agreements or joint statements were reported from the encounter.
