An opinion piece published by Iran's state news agency IRNA argues that what it describes as attempts by Western powers, particularly the United States, to dominate global affairs have driven a reaction across Eastern and Global South nations, citing the growth of groupings such as BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) as evidence of that trend.
The article frames these blocs as part of a broader push toward multilateralism, presenting them as a counterweight to what it characterizes as Western hegemonic ambitions. As an opinion piece from a state-affiliated outlet, the article reflects the editorial perspective of its publisher rather than independent reporting.
BRICS and the SCO have both expanded their membership and agendas in recent years, and are frequently cited by officials in member and partner states as vehicles for promoting a more multipolar global order. Analysts outside those blocs offer a range of views on their cohesion and influence, with some questioning how unified their members' interests actually are.
The piece does not cite specific data or events beyond its general argument about Western conduct and the rise of these groupings.
