AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Iran-US Deadlock Intensifies: Trump escalated again, posting that the “clock is ticking” for Iran after drones sparked a fire near the UAE’s Barakah nuclear plant, while markets reacted with oil up and stocks mixed. Hormuz Pressure Tactics: Iran says it has sent a revised 14-point peace plan via Pakistan and also created a new authority to manage Strait of Hormuz operations, alongside new fees targeting undersea internet cables—raising fresh fears of disruption. Sanctions & Energy Fallout: The US extended a 30-day waiver for Russian oil already in tankers at sea, as traders weigh Strait-of-Hormuz risk and higher borrowing costs. Regional Security Shock: Turkey saw a deadly restaurant shooting in Tarsus, killing four and injuring others, as a manhunt continues. Diplomacy Through the Middle: Pakistan’s mediation remains the main channel, but both sides trade demands and blame, with no clear breakthrough yet. Business Ripple Effects: India’s Adani Enterprises agreed to pay $275m to settle a US Iran sanctions probe, underscoring how the war keeps tightening compliance pressure.
