AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoMiddle East Shipping Shock: The US says it destroyed or disabled three Iranian crude oil tankers after Iran’s IRGC fired ballistic missiles at two US Navy warships near the Strait of Hormuz, with CENTCOM warning it will impose “even higher economic cost” if attacks continue. Iran’s Response: Iran’s Foreign Ministry condemned the strikes as a “war crime” and a violation of the UN Charter, saying Washington is waging naval blockade and economic warfare against commercial navigation. Oman Business Angle: With Hormuz tensions again spilling into shipping risk, Oman’s trade and logistics operators are watching costs and route disruptions closely, while regional diplomacy efforts also call for de-escalation to protect maritime flows. Oman Development Watch: Oman’s Al Mazunah Free Zone says it localised four projects in H1 2026, lifting cumulative investment to RO141m, and Oman’s Standards and Specifications Index rose 33.8% by Q2 as the country expands technical standards for industry and services.
