AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoPort Disruption: Yemen’s Mocha port suspended commercial and maritime operations after Houthi attacks hit the facility with more than 25 missiles over recent days, killing seven people and causing about $16M in losses; the director said the strikes damaged vessels and a dredger tied to a $130M expansion, leaving 1,300 workers without livelihoods. Red Sea Shipping Pressure: The escalation is feeding wider shipping risk as Yemen’s Houthis keep targeting Red Sea routes and Saudi-linked assets, while regional forces move to protect navigation. Regional Security Escalation: Saudi Arabia launched a formal multinational maritime defense coalition to safeguard the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, with 13 countries completing procedures to join and Saudi set to provide the first commander. Hormuz Standoff and Energy Costs: Iran rejected Trump’s claim it will declare the Strait of Hormuz a U.S. territory, saying the waterway “will remain Iranian,” as shipping through Hormuz stays severely disrupted and fuel prices rise. Local Frontline Tension: Pro-government media reported Houthi missile strikes on Marib neighborhoods, with no immediate casualty figures released.
