AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Regional Security: Iran said the Strait of Hormuz was closed again after a warning shot hit a vessel using an unauthorized route, while the US Central Command reported a third round of strikes on Iran and explosions near the strait, with a Cyprus-flagged container ship hit and a missing crew member. Jordan’s Defense: Jordan’s armed forces said they intercepted four Iranian missiles entering Jordanian airspace, with no immediate casualties reported, as Iran’s IRGC claimed it targeted US facilities in Jordan. Gulf Diplomacy & Trade: US President Donald Trump reversed course on a proposed 20% cargo fee for Hormuz, replacing it with “trade and investment deals” with Gulf states, while also saying the US would continue a blockade of Iranian ports—leaving negotiations in doubt. Aviation Risk: EASA told airlines to avoid airspace over Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, UAE and parts of the Gulf of Oman due to unacceptable risks from the renewed US-Iran conflict. Government Update: A Royal Decree approved a cabinet reshuffle in Prime Minister Dr. Jafar Hassan’s government, appointing Nidal Mardi Al-Katamine as Minister of Transport and Minister of Labor and accepting the resignation of Khaled Al-Bakar as Labor minister. Crime & Justice: Irish police said a person of interest in the murder of Jamey Carney has been detained in Jordan, with no charges yet.
