AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Iran-US brinkmanship: President Trump says he’s holding off a planned Tuesday strike on Iran after Gulf allies asked him to, while warning the US military is ready for a “full, large scale assault” if talks fail—amid reports of a new Iranian proposal being sent via Pakistan and Tehran insisting the US must lift sanctions and end the war on all fronts. Strait of Hormuz pressure: Iran is tightening control with a new Strait authority and launching “Hormuz Safe,” a Bitcoin-backed shipping insurance plan, as oil prices jump on renewed escalation fears. Gulf security flare-ups: UAE and Saudi Arabia report drone incidents, with Iraq denying drones were launched from its territory and urging information-sharing. Regional fallout: EU ministers warn Russia and China could exploit the Iran-war shock to gain leverage over developing countries facing energy and food strain. Human rights spotlight: Nobel laureate Narges Mohammadi returns home after hospital discharge, with supporters warning any return to prison could be fatal. Business and sanctions: India’s Adani Enterprises to pay $275m to the US over alleged Iran sanctions violations. Turkey violence: A gunman spree in Mersin leaves at least six dead as a manhunt continues.
