AGP Executive Report
Last update: an hour agoUS-Iran Escalation: The US carried out a ninth straight night of airstrikes on Iran, saying the goal is to degrade Tehran’s ability to attack commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, as confirmed US deaths rose to three in the latest round (two killed in Jordan, one killed in Iraq during a “controlled detonation” of a downed drone) and unidentified remains were being examined. Jordan as Flashpoint: Jordan reported intercepts of Iranian missiles and denied any evacuation orders for Aqaba’s airport and seaport despite US embassy warnings, while Iran’s IRGC claimed attacks on US-linked sites in Jordan and Kuwait, including allegations about strikes near Aqaba. Regional Spillover Risk: Gulf states sounded air-defence alerts and reported interceptions as both sides broadened targets beyond strictly military sites, with energy and shipping disruption fears growing. Diplomatic Pressure: Jordan summoned Iranian representatives to protest repeated attacks and statements, while regional foreign ministers urged de-escalation and dialogue.
