Iran says Araghchi visit to BRICS foreign ministers' meeting in Delhi 'on the agenda' but Deputy FM Gharibabadi expected to lead delegation as Hormuz safe-passage talks take centre stage

Iran has informed India that Foreign Minister Seyed Abbas Araghchi's attendance at the May 14-15, 2026 BRICS Foreign Ministers' Meeting in New Delhi is 'on his agenda at this stage,' the Times of India reported, although subsequent reporting from The Print on May 7 and the Economic Times on May 11 indicates Araghchi is now considered unlikely to travel — with Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi expected to lead the Iranian delegation instead — as Tehran weighs the fragility of the US-Iran ceasefire from the late-February-to-early-April war, studies a 14-point US peace proposal routed via Pakistan that would freeze its uranium enrichment for at least 12 years, and prepares for the first face-to-face encounter between Iranian, Emirati and Saudi Arabian senior diplomats since the conflict began; the meeting, chaired by External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar under India's 2026 BRICS presidency, will see Hormuz safe-passage talks for 40-50 trapped India-bound tankers held on the sidelines and is a key staging post for the 18th BRICS Summit Delhi is expected to host in September 2026.

Brent crude tops $104 as US–Iran talks collapse and Hormuz stays closed; oil up $3 a barrel

Asia's Monday open on May 11, 2026 saw oil prices jump roughly $3 a barrel after Washington and Tehran failed to agree on the US 14-point peace proposal and the Strait of Hormuz stayed largely closed: Brent crude futures climbed $3.21 or 3.17 percent to $104.50 a barrel by 22:03 GMT and US West Texas Intermediate rose $3.06 or 3.21 percent to $98.48 a barrel, almost fully erasing the previous week's six-percent loss that traders had taken on the hope a deal was close, and putting JPMorgan chief executive Jamie Dimon's April warning of stickier oil-and-commodity price shocks and a longer central-bank rate path squarely back into the 2026 market frame.

How the Strait of Hormuz rattles the world economy: oil, LNG, freight, inflation, and fallbacks explained

A narrow Arabian Gulf corridor funnels enough hydrocarbon tonne-miles that even partial disruption rewires Brent, Asian refinery sourcing, maritime war-risk clauses, power prices in gas-linked grids, food logistics (via fuel bills), and current-account stress for import-heavy economies—often faster than diplomats issue joint statements.
