Which iPhone did your brother buy for you from the US?

If he is planning to buy an iPhone 14 model in the US then these iPhone 14 models do not have the physical nano SIM tray. These models (US) only eSIM capability. If there is no carrier with eSIM capability in your country then you will not be able to use the iPhone 14 (US models) in your country at this time.

Apple will have iPhone 14 models with SIM card trays available in a few other regions of the world. Check to see whether your region will have an iPhone 14 model with a SIM card Tray and make a decision from that point.
