AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

US-Iran Escalation Hits Kuwait: The US launched a second straight night of strikes on Iran, saying it targeted “multiple” military surveillance, communications and air-defense sites after Trump warned Tehran would “pay the price” over stalled talks. Regional Fallout: Iran retaliated by firing drones and missiles at US-linked bases in Bahrain and Kuwait, with claims of attacks on 18 US targets; Kuwait’s air defenses reported engaging “hostile” aerial targets. Airspace Disruptions: Kuwait temporarily closed its airspace during the attacks, then reopened it as conditions eased; Kuwait International Airport operations resumed, though NBK temporarily shut its T4 branch. Hormuz Shock: Iran declared the Strait of Hormuz closed to all vessels, while the US disputed the claim, raising fresh fears for global oil and LNG flows. Diplomacy Pressure: UN officials urged restraint as ceasefire hopes dimmed and regional states condemned the strikes.
