Analysis
What Jalali argued
Iran’s ambassador to Russia, Kazem Jalali, told a BRICS energy cooperation and security gathering that global energy security is now largely shaped by Global South countries, especially BRICS members. He said recent geopolitical tensions, supply-chain disruptions, market volatility and rising demand in emerging economies have made energy security a central issue for stability and development.
Iran’s framing
Jalali defined energy security broadly. In his account, it is not only about access to oil or gas, but also about the security of supply, demand, investment, technology, infrastructure and finance. On that basis, he said BRICS countries have shared responsibilities because of their large capacities and should help create a more just, stable and inclusive energy order.
He also said energy should support development, prosperity and production rather than be used as a tool of political pressure. That line reflects Iran’s wider criticism of coercive economic pressure in international affairs.
What Iran wants built
Jalali called for developing the International North-South Transport Corridor, expanding transport and logistics infrastructure, strengthening port cooperation and improving links between energy networks among BRICS members. He said such steps could improve the security and sustainability of energy trade at regional and global levels.
He added that Iran has not attacked any country and has always sought peace, stability and security. As a BRICS member and a major energy producer, he said Iran will continue to play a constructive role in pursuing energy justice and global energy security.
Key points
- Iran’s ambassador to Russia said BRICS countries should help shape a fairer global energy order.
- He said energy security includes supply, demand, investment, technology, infrastructure and finance.
- Jalali called for developing the International North-South Transport Corridor and related logistics links.
- He said energy should not be used as a tool of political pressure.
- He said Iran, as a BRICS member and major energy producer, will play a constructive role.
If BRICS members follow this path, they could strengthen transport routes, ports and energy links that make trade more reliable. That would support a more stable flow of energy and give Iran a larger role in regional cooperation.
If geopolitical tensions and supply disruptions continue, the broader energy system Jalali described may stay unstable. If BRICS members do not coordinate, energy could remain vulnerable to political pressure and uneven access to investment and infrastructure.
