AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoMiddle East Health & Safety: The US carried out its 13th straight night of strikes on Iran, targeting drone facilities, coastal surveillance and maritime capabilities as clashes intensify around the Strait of Hormuz; Iran’s state media also reported explosions near Qeshm and Bandar Abbas, while the wider conflict is raising fears for civilian infrastructure and travel safety across the region. Red Sea Shipping Risk: Yemen’s Houthis said they attacked two Saudi oil tankers in the Red Sea, threatening a wider chokepoint risk as Brent pushed back toward $100 a barrel and tankers reportedly diverted or reversed course. Kuwait Impact Signals: Reports claim Iranian strikes damaged US-linked sites in Kuwait and that Kuwait’s air defences responded to hostile attacks, while Kuwait’s GDP outlook is pressured by oil disruptions tied to the war. Travel Advisories: The US issued a Worldwide Caution urging Americans to expect flight cancellations and airspace closures; the UK and Canada also warned their citizens that attacks could resume with little notice. Local Health Regulation: Kuwait’s commerce authorities shut a shop found selling cigarettes to under-21s and closed a health institute over violations, including a ban on cash transactions for certain activities.
