AGP Executive Report
Last update: 5 hours agoHormuz Escalation: Iran’s Supreme National Security Council chief Mohsen Rezaei says Tehran will announce a new “restricted/exclusion” maritime zone outside the Strait of Hormuz soon, starting from the U.S. blockade line and extending into the Persian Gulf, warning any ship entering without coordination will be put on Iran’s sanctions list and that the strait is “completely closed.” Retaliation Claims Clash: Iran says it struck an unmanned U.S. vessel trying to enter Hormuz; the U.S. Central Command calls it a “total lie,” hours after Washington said it disabled or sunk three Iranian-linked oil tankers following ballistic-missile attacks on U.S. warships. Parliament Speaker Warning: Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf says the “rules of the game” have changed and any attack on Iran’s interests will bring a “faster, heavier and more painful” response. Economic Pressure at Home: Iran also raised petrol prices for heavy users, a move tied to sanctions and wartime strain. Regional Security Ripple: Israel’s Netanyahu again claimed Iran’s regime is nearing collapse, while the U.S., South Korea, and Japan kicked off a five-day joint exercise aimed at deterrence.
