AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoRed Sea Shipping Fatalities: Yemen’s internationally recognized government says Iran-aligned Houthis carried out a “double-tap” missile attack on the Egyptian-owned cargo vessel Tihamah in Bab al-Mandeb, killing at least 6 (including crew and two rescue-force members) and wounding 10 as rescue operations were hit again. Strait of Hormuz Standoff: Iran says the Strait of Hormuz will stay closed unless the US ends its blockade, lifts sanctions, releases frozen assets, and compensates for war damage—while Trump counters with demands for compensation for deaths and attacks, further clouding any reopening timeline. Energy Market Pressure: Oil prices climbed toward/above $90 as shipping disruption risk grows; Yemen-linked attacks and broader Gulf tensions are keeping supply concerns elevated despite mixed signals from inventories. Houthi Security Overhaul: Reports say Houthi leadership has dispersed senior figures into hotels and tightened security, with Revolutionary Guards-linked oversight and new operations rooms aimed at reducing strike vulnerability. Yemen-Saudi Industrial Fallout: A claimed Houthi drone strike hit Saudi Aramco’s Jizan refinery area; Saudi says the fire was extinguished without casualties, but the incident underscores how Yemen conflict is spilling into regional energy infrastructure.
