AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoUS–Iran Diplomacy: After a tense start and a brief Iranian walkout over Trump threats, mediators Qatar and Pakistan say the first Switzerland talks produced an “encouraging progress” roadmap to a final deal in 60 days, including a Strait of Hormuz communication line and a Lebanon de-confliction cell. Oil Market Mood: The prospect of easing supply fears pushed crude down from earlier spikes, with Brent slipping toward $80 as Iran signaled oil and petrochemical export waivers and some frozen assets could be released. Hormuz Leverage Debate: Critics warn the MoU could leave Iran with lasting leverage over the chokepoint, while US hawks like Lindsey Graham argue Washington could seize control of Hormuz if diplomacy fails. Qatar Gas Shock: Qatar’s Barzan/Barzan-linked gas supply efforts faced a major blast, with reports of dozens injured and missing, raising near-term LNG and gas-supply nerves. Egypt Energy Deals: EGAS and Harbour Energy agreed to expand onshore gas exploration in the Nile Delta (Desouq concession), while Envision Energy and AMEA Power signed for Egypt’s 500 MW Amunet II wind project, lifting AMEA’s wind capacity to 1 GW.
