AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoGulf Security Flashpoint: The US and Iran kept up a 10th straight night of strikes, with Washington saying it hit Iranian command centres, missile/drone launch sites and air defences to protect shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, while Iran and its IRGC claimed retaliatory attacks on US-linked assets in Kuwait and Bahrain, including radar and missile-defence systems and claims of drone strikes on three Kuwait bases. Kuwait on Alert: Kuwait reported intercepting hostile missiles and drones and said its air defences responded during the latest wave, as Iranian claims also targeted Kuwait’s military infrastructure and energy-related sites. Shipping Risk Widens: Iran said Hormuz remains closed and claimed tanker attacks, while the Houthis announced a Red Sea maritime blockade threat against Saudi Arabia via Bab al-Mandeb, raising new pressure on regional energy routes. Diplomacy Under Strain: Mediators pushed proposals for a short truce and shipping reopening, with Iran’s interior minister visiting Pakistan, but both sides traded accusations that the other violated prior understandings. Local Governance: Kuwait’s Ministry of Commerce seized expired consumer goods and tobacco in the Capital Governorate, citing violations of commercial fraud rules. Foreign Ties: Kuwait and Syria moved to deepen relations, including plans for ambassador exchanges and a business council.
