## Prediction

Within 24 hours, Iran is likely to brief or publicly invoke select BRICS or Global South partners (notably Russia and possibly China) to echo or at least not contradict its claim that the US tested chemical weapons in Lamerd. This will be framed as another example of Western impunity and used to rally support for sanctions relief and alternative security structures. If some BRICS members call for an investigation or mention the issue in joint statements, it will harden rhetorical blocs and complicate Western efforts to isolate Iran over Hormuz and regional attacks. Confirmation would be official statements from Russia, China, or others referencing the Lamerd incident or supporting an inquiry; disconfirmation would be pointed BRICS silence or neutral language distancing from the allegation.

## Drivers

- Iranian state-linked outlets accusing US of chemical weapons test in Lamerd
- Emerging trend: Russia and Iran weaponize narrative warfare to portray actions as defensive
- Ongoing BRICS summit with strong Global South sanctions-resistant rhetoric
- Iran–Oman Hormuz agreement and crypto-based trade signaling coordinated strategy
