AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoRed Sea & Yemen Shipping: Yemen’s Houthis claimed ballistic missile strikes on Saudi oil tankers near Yanbu and in the Gulf of Aden, while UKMTO reported explosions near a tanker southeast of Aden; Saudi has not confirmed details, but the claims keep pressure on Red Sea trade and fuel routes. Maritime Security Coalition: Saudi Arabia named Rear Admiral Abdullah bin Salem Al-Shehri as commander of a multinational maritime defence coalition to protect Bab al-Mandeb, the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, with a planning meeting set for Aug. 12-13. Oil Markets: Oil prices stayed near $80 as investors weighed Iran-Oman talks on Strait of Hormuz routing against renewed Red Sea supply risks; Brent and WTI moved modestly as traders watched whether any deal can restore volumes. Strait of Hormuz Negotiations: Iran said it is in the “final stage” of drafting an Oman agreement on shipping coordinates, but stressed reopening depends on the U.S. ending its blockade and that any arrangement may not mean full safety for all vessels. Local Conflict Signal: The Houthis also claimed rocket/drone attacks on government military camps in Marib and Hadramaut, as Yemen’s security situation remains volatile.
