AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoRed Sea Security & Energy: France says it will send troops, radars and air-defence systems to protect Saudi Arabia’s Yanbu oil terminal after Houthi attacks, as Riyadh reports intercepting six ballistic missiles aimed at Taif and Yanbu and issues emergency alerts across key cities. Regional Defense Coordination: Saudi Arabia, Turkey and Pakistan plan urgent chiefs-of-staff talks under the Mecca Joint Defence Agreement to coordinate support as Houthi strikes intensify and Iran tries to distance itself from the Houthis’ moves. UN Diplomacy on Shipping: 80 countries condemned Iran’s Gulf actions and Houthi attacks, calling for full reopening of the Strait of Hormuz and warning that Houthi advances toward Bab al-Mandeb threaten global trade and maritime navigation. Market Impact: Oil prices swung on hopes of US-Iran talks to reopen Hormuz but stayed sensitive to risks to Saudi facilities, with Brent around the mid-$105s after a week of sharp volatility. Yemen Industry & Food: Yemen’s Sanaa hosted fairs promoting local grain products, pushing domestic agricultural marketing and self-reliance.
