AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoGulf Security: Kuwait’s air defences intercepted an Iranian Fateh-110 missile aimed at Ali Al Salem Air Base, but debris still caused minor injuries to several Americans and damaged two MQ-9 Reaper drones, underscoring how fast the Iran-US ceasefire talks can be tested on the ground. Ceasefire Diplomacy: The US and Iran are reportedly close to a tentative 60-day extension and a memorandum of understanding that would reopen the Strait of Hormuz for unrestricted shipping, yet Trump’s final sign-off remains the key hurdle as both sides trade accusations over truce violations. Energy & Shipping: With Hormuz risk driving whiplash in oil and markets, analysts note a growing share of “dark” tanker movements and continued disruptions to global crude flows, even as hopes rise for mine removal and blockade easing. Kuwait Enforcement: Kuwait’s drug control authorities seized about 12kg of shabu hidden inside heavy industrial equipment, arresting two Egyptian nationals in a major smuggling bid. Regional Finance: Pakistan’s foreign exchange reserves rose to $22.65bn, boosted by Gulf-linked assistance including Kuwait.
