On September 12, BRICS countries, including Iran and the UAE, issued a joint statement expressing "deep concern" over the escalating tensions in the Middle East and calling on all countries in the region to exercise "maximum restraint." The 45-page communiqué covered a wide range of issues, from institutional reform to payment systems, but did not name the countries involved in the Middle East conflict, instead urging against "actions that could further escalate the situation." The Middle East conflict has lasted for more than six months, disrupting trade in the region and driving up global oil, fuel, and natural gas prices. Amid the significant escalation, Saudi Arabias east-west oil pipeline was attacked, forcing the country to shut it down on Friday. The United States also launched strikes against Iranian oil tankers. The BRICS countries stated that they encourage increased efforts through dialogue and diplomacy to reach a lasting understanding and contribute to lasting peace, security, and stability in the region. The BRICS statement did not offer a specific solution to the near closure of the Strait of Hormuz, but emphasized the "necessity of working together to maintain the smooth flow of global trade, supply chains, and energy in accordance with applicable international law."September 12th - Apples official website shows that pre-orders for the iPhone 18 Pro/Pro Max are now open, with starting prices of 9999 yuan and 10999 yuan respectively.
