AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Middle East Energy Shock: US strikes on Iran for a 13th straight night and Houthi attacks on Saudi tankers pushed Brent above $100, while Strait of Hormuz traffic fell to just one tanker crossing, tightening global oil and LNG supply expectations. Kuwait Security & Infrastructure: Iran-linked drone and missile claims targeted US sites in Kuwait, while Kuwait reported interceptions and a “hostile” drone attack on the Abdali border crossing, as regional escalation also raised risks to power and water assets. GCC Response: GCC states and Jordan condemned Iranian attacks as “explicit acts of aggression,” reaffirming self-defence and calling for urgent UN action. Trade & Industry Ripple: The US imposed forced-labour tariffs on 60 economies (10%–12.5%), a move that directly affects sourcing and textile/apparel supply chains shipping into the US. Energy Routes Shift: Gulf states are accelerating pipeline and alternative route plans to reduce dependence on Hormuz and Red Sea chokepoints as shipping disruptions spread.
