AGP Executive Report
Last update: 4 hours agoGulf Escalation Hits Jordan: Iran again declared the Strait of Hormuz closed “until further notice” after a warning shot struck a Cyprus-flagged container ship, while the U.S. said its forces began a third round of strikes on Iran and claimed the strait remains open for lawful transit. Regional Fallout: Iran’s retaliation included missile and drone attacks across the Gulf, with Jordan reporting three missiles landing inside the kingdom causing minor damage and no casualties; GCC, Qatar, Kuwait and Saudi Arabia all condemned the attacks as violations of international law and sovereignty. Diplomacy Under Strain: The renewed violence further clouds the June MoU and 60-day talks, with both sides trading claims over who controls Hormuz and what “safe passage” means for shipping. Local Security Messaging: Jordan’s military said it will not allow its airspace or territory to be used as an arena for conflict and kept forces at the highest readiness.
