AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 minutes agoUS-Iran Maritime Tensions: The US destroyed five Iranian crude oil tankers linked to the IRGC after Iran attempted to hit a US Navy warship with ballistic missiles twice; the strikes targeted four tankers in the Gulf of Oman and one near Kharg Island, with crews ordered to abandon ship.

Aviation Sanctions: The US Treasury sanctioned 27 remaining Iranian airlines (plus related intermediaries), tightening “Operation Economic Outcast” pressure on Iran’s aviation network. Oman Angle: Oman welcomed a joint European statement rejecting Israeli settlement expansion, while UNCTAD warned that Strait of Hormuz disruptions hit small businesses hardest.
