AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Strait of Hormuz pressure spikes: The US seized an Iranian-linked VLCC in the Indian Ocean carrying over 1m barrels of crude, the third such grab since February, as Washington also blacklisted 19 more ships and flagged at least 10 mines in the waterway. Iran doubles down: A senior Iranian lawmaker called Hormuz a “permanent asset” and said Tehran will pursue its rights “with full strength,” while Iran’s new transit/toll framework keeps taking shape. Shipping and costs ripple outward: With traffic sharply reduced, officials warn the disruption is feeding higher energy and food prices far beyond the region. Oman keeps moving on energy and science: Oman signed a cooperation deal with CERN in Geneva and rolled out new energy-efficiency and digital green platforms, while Oman’s Ras Markaz crude storage is drawing growing regional interest. Markets and people: The rupee slide in India and a drop in Nepali worker outflows to the GCC show how the wider crisis is hitting currencies and labour flows. Adani settlement: The US Treasury agreed a $275m settlement with Adani Enterprises over alleged Iran-linked LPG sanctions violations.
