AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

Maritime Security: The US fired Hellfire missiles from an MH-60 helicopter to disable the steering gear of the Panama-flagged cargo ship M/V Vela Nova in the Gulf of Oman after it ignored warnings and tried to breach the blockade of Iranian ports; CENTCOM says it has redirected 55 vessels, disabled three, and boarded two. Red Sea Disruptions: Iran-aligned Houthis attacked shipping near Bab el-Mandeb, killing four crew members aboard the Egyptian-owned Tihamah, with two rescuers also reported killed during a second strike on the rescue operation. Chokepoint Pressure: Strait of Hormuz traffic remains extremely low, with Iran insisting it will not reopen unless the US ends the war and blockade, releases frozen assets, and agrees to a wider regional ceasefire. Logistics Diversion Costs: With Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb constrained, congestion is spilling into other routes—one container ship reportedly paid nearly US$4m to skip the Panama Canal queue. Regional Connectivity: Lebanon and Iraq met in Beirut to revive the Kirkuk–Tripoli pipeline as Lebanon prepares to act as an initial storage and re-export hub for Iraqi crude, including road and border upgrades for heavy tanker traffic. Rail Rights in Jordan: Jordan’s parliament amended property law definitions to include railways under “road,” potentially allowing uncompensated land expropriation for rail projects.
