AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoStrait of Hormuz Crisis: Iran says the Strait of Hormuz is closed “until further notice” after a warning shot hit a vessel on an unauthorized route, while the US launched a third wave of strikes on Iran, hitting about 140 targets to degrade Tehran’s ability to attack commercial shipping. Oman in the spotlight: Oman hosted Iranian FM Abbas Araghchi for talks on safe navigation hours before the escalation, and Oman condemned an attack on its territory as drones hit Musandam. Shipping impact: A Cyprus-flagged container ship (GFS Galaxy) was damaged and set ablaze; 10 of 11 Indian nationals were rescued, with one missing, as search-and-rescue continues off Oman. Regional fallout: Gulf states including Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan, Egypt and the UAE condemned Iran’s attacks and activated air defences; Iran also claimed strikes on US-linked sites across the region, including in Oman’s Duqm. Diplomacy under strain: Iran and Oman agreed to continue consultations on Hormuz navigation, but the US-Iran exchange of fire threatens to derail any fragile deal.
