BRICS Summit Dominated by Iranian President's Sensitive Flight Route

World leaders have gathered to attend the 18th BRICS summit in India. Russian President Vladimir Putin has arrived in New Delhi on his special plane, while Chinese President Xi Jinping is also expected to arrive soon. However, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is garnering more headlines than the heads of state of these two superpowers. The biggest reason behind this is his air travel from Iran to India. According to the schedule, after flying from Tehran on September 11, the Iranian president's plane will enter Indian territory through Pakistan's airspace. His plane is scheduled to land at Palam Air Force Station in Delhi at around 2 pm. Since the movement of Iranian VIP planes is seen as very sensitive and under strict security scrutiny amid the current Middle East tensions and strict Western sanctions, this flight of Pezeshkian and his route has been questioned by the whole world.
