Araghchi’s "No-Handshake" Greeting in Delhi

New footage from the BRICS Foreign Ministers' Meeting in New Delhi shows Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi adhering to traditional Islamic protocol during delegate greetings on May 14, 2026. Araghchi’s choice to use a hand-to-chest gesture instead of a handshake highlights the consistent application of Iranian diplomatic etiquette regarding physical contact with unrelated women. This moment occurred as BRICS+ nations gathered to address global energy security and West Asia regional stability under India's chairship.

Expert Insight:
The "hand-over-heart" gesture is a sophisticated diplomatic workaround; it satisfies the requirement for a polite greeting while strictly adhering to the Islamic prohibition of ikhtilat (physical mixing) between unrelated sexes.
