AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoRed Sea & Hormuz Shipping Pressure: UKMTO reported two drone attacks on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz; crew were safe and no pollution was reported, as traffic remains far below normal and the US says it can keep a naval blockade on Iran “indefinitely.” Yemen Conflict Risk: UN envoy Hans Grundberg warned Yemen is at its highest risk of renewed war since the 2022 truce, citing Houthi attacks across Marib, Hadramaut and Mokha plus renewed threats to Red Sea and Gulf of Aden shipping. Houthi Strikes on Saudi Energy: Houthis claimed a precision drone hit on Saudi Aramco’s Jizan refinery, while tensions with Riyadh keep rising after earlier refinery and tanker incidents. Maritime Security Alliances: Saudi announced a 14-state (now expanding) maritime coalition to protect Bab al-Mandeb, the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, with Yemen’s Presidential Leadership Council among signatories. Environmental Fallout: Oil pollution linked to the wider Gulf war reached Iran’s Qeshm Island as a major spill fouled Oman’s southern coastline, threatening wildlife and fishing communities. Industry Impact: Supply chains are “creaking” as attacks and Hormuz uncertainty disrupt fuel flows and logistics.
