AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

US-Iran Deadlock: The 60-day US-Iran MoU expired with no deal, as Washington ruled out extending the ceasefire and Iran warned it will shift to a “fully offensive” posture, including a “timely and precise” move to break the US naval blockade if diplomacy fails. Oman Under Pressure: Trump escalated rhetoric toward Oman, warning he would “bomb” the country if it interferes with efforts to manage Strait of Hormuz traffic, while Oman and Iran continue talks on a shipping-route arrangement. Markets & Energy: Wall Street slipped as oil jumped and Treasury yields rose, with Brent around US$90; gold and silver edged higher as investors weighed the inflation risk from crude. Shipping & Security: Reports said Iran seized a tanker in Hormuz and tightened route controls, while Oman continues response efforts to contain an oil spill from the grounded Caroline Bezengi. Regional Diplomacy: Sultan Haitham met UAE President Mohamed bin Zayed in Abu Dhabi, focusing on bilateral ties and regional stability amid intensifying Hormuz tensions. Oman Policy Watch: Oman’s central bank issued treasury bills worth OMR 48 million.
