AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoIran-US talks stall as the 60-day MOU expires: Washington and Tehran missed the deadline to curb Iran’s nuclear program and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, with both sides trading blame and keeping conditions locked to sanctions, compensation, and the blockade. Hormuz shipping squeeze drives oil risk: Strait traffic fell to just five commodity vessel crossings on Saturday and none on Sunday, while attacks on tankers and an Aramco refinery kept crude near $90; markets are pricing in a higher geopolitical risk premium. Regional escalation hits energy routes: Kurdish authorities said Iran-launched explosive drones targeted PM Barzani’s office and a security chief residence in Erbil, underscoring how the conflict keeps reaching energy-linked areas. Red Sea pressure reshapes Saudi exports: Yemeni strikes are pushing Saudi crude reroutes and secrecy around Yanbu loadings, while some Asian refiners resist Aramco’s request to collect cargoes at Yanbu due to Red Sea risks. Iraq’s power crunch stays front and center: An Iraq energy outlook warns vulnerabilities in oil exports and the grid could threaten stability, as the country remains exposed to Hormuz disruptions. Gulf renewables push continues: Türkiye and Saudi Arabia plan to expand renewable cooperation to 5,000 MW total via an additional 3,000 MW deal.
