AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoOman-Iran diplomacy: Iran’s Deputy FM Kazem Gharibabadi hit back at US President Donald Trump’s claim that the Strait of Hormuz will become US territory, insisting the waterway “will remain Iranian” and can only be opened and closed under Iran’s command, while Iran also says talks with Oman on a temporary shipping route are separate from US negotiations. Hormuz pressure on markets: Gold held steady near a two-month high as traders weighed US rate expectations against energy-driven inflation risks, with Hormuz disruption and new US measures on Iran keeping uncertainty high. Shipping workaround: Reports say covert “dark” oil shipments through Hormuz and transfers in the Gulf of Oman are continuing at large scale, helping prevent a sharper oil price spike. Oman angle on security: Iran’s army chief Amir Hatami renewed hardline demands, saying US forces are barred from the Persian Gulf, Gulf of Oman and Hormuz, and announced a $30,000 bounty for capturing or killing US soldiers. Local life: Oman’s national team coach Tarik Sektioui added three players to the domestic training camp ahead of the Arabian Gulf Cup, while Oman’s junior tennis players wrapped up a Cairo training camp.
