AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoHormuz Diplomacy vs Sanctions: Iran’s FM Abbas Araghchi said “pressure doesn’t work” and that diplomacy can resume only if the US drops coercion, as Qatar’s PM met Iranian leaders in Tehran to push de-escalation and a framework for reopening the Strait of Hormuz. Oman Link in the Mix: Multiple reports point to Oman-Iran talks on a temporary shipping corridor and mine-clearing, but Washington says there are no Iran talks while it focuses on “Operation Economic Outcast.” Shipping Still Thin: Strait traffic remains far below normal—Kpler data showed just seven commodity vessels transiting on Thursday, highlighting how the corridor is still risky and uneven. US Military Update: CENTCOM said it cleared Iranian mines from internationally recognized Hormuz lanes and that Iran has exported no oil since the blockade resumed in July, while US forces support protected transits. Energy Markets: Oil prices stayed pressured toward weekly losses as Hormuz flows remained choppy and diplomacy stalled; refined-product stress continues to worry traders.
