AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 minutes ago

Strait of Hormuz Escalation: Trump reinstated a U.S. naval blockade on Iranian ports and said the U.S. will act as “guardian” of Hormuz while charging a 20% cargo fee for safe passage; Iran insists the strait is closed and vows to block U.S. interference, as both sides trade missile and drone strikes and CENTCOM begins a third round of attacks. Kuwait Security & Diplomacy: Kuwait condemned Iran and Iran-backed militias for attacks on border posts and an offshore KOC platform, and also protested continued assaults on Kuwait’s Consulate General in Basra, urging Iraq to act under Vienna Convention obligations. Regional Fallout: Markets reacted with oil surging amid fears of supply disruption, while the UN maritime body pushed back on the toll plan as lacking legal basis. Local Governance & Services: Kuwait expanded the Farwaniya food-handler medical screening center for faster processing, and the Ministry of Social Affairs renewed its drug-abuse prevention push. Community & Culture: talabat Kuwait added KGCA as an official training partner for the talabat grow bootcamp, and Kuwait Cricket leaders met ICC Chairman Jay Shah to discuss the sport’s growth.
