AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Iran-US Tensions: Israel and the US are on the highest alert over fears of renewed strikes on Iran, as Trump again warned Tehran the “clock is ticking” and said it must move fast or “there won’t be anything left,” while Iran rejects the premise and accuses Washington and Tel Aviv of manufacturing crises to justify escalation. Hormuz Pressure: Iran is also pushing new control measures around the Strait of Hormuz, including plans tied to charging fees and even threats to disrupt undersea cable traffic—raising stakes for Gulf shipping and global tech. Mediation Spotlight: Qatar’s PM and foreign minister praised Pakistan’s mediation role in the US-Iran ceasefire push, with Islamabad’s leadership calling it a “shining moment,” as Iran’s president met Pakistan’s interior minister in Tehran. Regional Pulse: Saudi Arabia confirmed Eid Al Adha for May 27 after moon sighting, while Pakistan’s Supreme Court-linked calendar updates and Hajj preparations continue in parallel. Markets: Oil prices and Wall Street’s pullback fed broader jitters, with tech-led declines following the latest oil-driven shock.
