AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Iran–US Ceasefire Cracks: Trump called Tehran’s latest response a “piece of garbage” and said the truce is on “life support,” as both sides trade demands over sanctions, a naval blockade, and nuclear terms—pushing oil higher and keeping the Strait of Hormuz effectively shut. Gulf Security Escalation: Reports say the UAE carried out secret strikes inside Iran, including on Lavan Island, while Iran continues drone pressure on UAE, Qatar and Kuwait—raising the risk that a fragile pause turns back into open conflict. Energy Shock Hits Markets: Saudi Aramco’s CEO warned the world could lose up to 100 million barrels weekly if disruption persists, while shipping traffic through Hormuz has collapsed. Kuwait Operations & Compliance: Kuwait’s Fire Force shut 64 buildings over fire-safety violations, and Kuwait Airways began a phased return of flights from Terminal 4 after earlier disruptions. Local Economy Signals: Zain Group posted Q1 2026 results (KD 569m revenue; KD 80m net profit), while Kuwait’s IP services generated KD 6.69m in 2025 fees amid tighter oversight. ADNOC Drilling Expansion: ADNOC Drilling says its rig count rose to 30 across Oman, Kuwait and Bahrain, boosting regional capacity.
