AGP Executive Report
Last update: 15 minutes agoRegional Security Shock: Iran’s missile and drone barrage on a U.S. base in Jordan killed two American service members and left one missing, prompting Washington to launch an eighth straight night of strikes aimed at IRGC-linked targets and to “swiftly punish” those behind the attack. Jordan Air Defense: Jordan’s Armed Forces said it intercepted and destroyed three Iranian missiles targeting the Kingdom, while a fourth crashed in a remote area with no casualties or damage; engineering teams secured the impact site. Aqaba Airport/Port Dispute: The U.S. Embassy in Amman warned Americans to avoid Aqaba’s airport and seaport after claiming they were evacuated over a “specific and credible threat,” but Jordan’s government spokesperson Mohammad Momani and Aqaba officials denied any evacuation order, saying both facilities are operating normally. Strait of Hormuz Pressure: The EU and GCC reiterated freedom of navigation through the Strait of Hormuz and rejected any restrictions, as the wider U.S.-Iran exchange of strikes continues to raise risks for regional shipping and markets. Nuclear Watch: The IAEA said it is examining claims that U.S. strikes hit Iran’s under-construction Darkhovin civilian nuclear site, while stressing the site had no nuclear material when last visited.
