AGP Executive Report
Last update: 12 hours agoShipping Violence in Yemen: Yemen’s internationally recognized government says Iran-backed Houthis killed six people in a “double-tap” attack on the Egyptian-owned Tihamah in the Bab al-Mandeb, with Yemen’s coastguard adding that a second strike hit rescue teams evacuating the dead and wounded. Red Sea Security Fallout: The attack comes as Houthis also claim actions against Saudi-linked shipping and as Yemen’s government warns the international community to move beyond condemnation. Hormuz Stalemate, Oil Jumps: Iran says the Strait of Hormuz won’t reopen unless the U.S. meets sweeping demands, while fresh shipping attacks and blockade enforcement keep crude prices near $90; Brent rose above $89 and gold also climbed. Regional Diplomacy Signals: Pakistan’s defense minister says the U.S. and Iran are close to “some sort of arrangement,” and Pakistan’s interior minister is reported to be in Tehran for talks. Saudi Economic Shock Point: A reported drone strike attempt on Saudi Aramco’s Jizan refinery was extinguished without casualties, but it underscores how Yemen-linked attacks are now hitting Saudi energy assets.
