AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoStrait of Hormuz Shockwaves: Iran says its role in the Strait of Hormuz is “non-negotiable” and says it will coordinate with Oman on security, as the US continues a ninth straight night of strikes and Iran claims two tankers exploded and were immobilised near Omani waters. Shipping Disruption: Visible traffic through Hormuz was near standstill, with UKMTO reporting a vessel fire off Kumzar (near Oman) after an unknown projectile, while ship-tracking points to more vessels switching off transponders or avoiding the area. Energy Markets: Brent jumped above $90 a barrel on renewed escalation, with oil shipments and global inflation fears back in focus. Regional Pressure on Oman: US officials urged allies to protect Hormuz, while the conflict’s maritime risks are directly hitting Oman-adjacent routes and raising safety concerns for crews and cargo. Oman Business Watch: Separate from the war, Oman’s hospitality sector saw Q1 hotel revenues rise 8.4% to OMR85.4m, even as guest volumes softened, and Oman continues road delivery with RO105m+ projects in North Al Sharqiyah.
