AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

US-Iran Ceasefire Cracks: Trump called Iran’s latest response a “piece of garbage” and said the truce is “on life support,” as both sides trade fire and drone activity keeps shipping risk high—pushing crude higher and reviving talk of renewed US operations around the Strait of Hormuz. UAE Steps Up Covertly: New reporting says the UAE secretly struck Iran, including the Lavan Island refinery in early April, and Washington “quietly welcomed” Gulf participation—raising the odds the conflict widens beyond a US-Iran standoff. Hormuz Shock to Markets: Saudi Aramco’s CEO warned a prolonged closure could remove about 100 million barrels a week, while oil flows elsewhere are being rerouted and prices stay jumpy. Kuwait Business & Policy: Kuwait continues tightening enforcement at home—shutting an illegal home-based kitchen—and meanwhile local firms report momentum: Zain Group posted KD 569m revenue and KD 80m net profit for Q1, and NBK opened registration for its 2026 Aspire Summer Training Program. Diplomacy: Kuwait’s envoy credentials were received in Uzbekistan, and the UK reiterated defense support as Gulf tensions persist.
