AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoStrait of Hormuz Shipping Shock: Iran says it attacked more than a dozen vessels and expanded a no-go zone around the Strait of Hormuz after the US destroyed five Iranian tankers, pushing Brent back above $100 (around $101.28) and reviving fears of wider supply disruption. Yemen–Saudi Escalation: In parallel, Houthis launched ballistic missile and drone attacks on Saudi cities including Khamis Mushait, Abha, Jazan and Najran, injuring 73 civilians and hitting energy and economic facilities, while Saudi-led forces vowed retaliation. Red Sea Pressure on Trade: With Yemen’s Houthis targeting routes tied to Bab el-Mandeb and Mocha, the Red Sea risk is feeding into global logistics stress and higher fuel costs. Diplomacy vs Blame: Iran’s foreign ministry rejected US claims that Yemen’s Ansarallah is Tehran’s proxy, insisting it acts independently—while markets keep pricing in conflict-driven instability.
