title: "BRICS nations call for 'maximum restraint' in Middle East"
description: "Most outlets led with the BRICS group’s joint call for “maximum restraint” in the Middle East, issued during a summit in New Delhi. Several also noted the inclusion of key members like China, Russia, Iran, and India, and the overcoming of earlier divisions to issue a unified statement. A few, like Geo News and Aaj News (English), briefly mentioned the condemnation of attacks and the context of rising tensions, though these points were not universally emphasized. The framing was largely consistent, with minor variations in the level of detail provided about the summit and the nature of the conflict."
