AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoUS-Iran Talks: Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi met Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi in Tehran as Islamabad keeps shuttling messages for a ceasefire framework, with the biggest sticking points still uranium and Strait of Hormuz tolls—US Secretary of State Marco Rubio cites “some good signs” but warns a toll system would make a deal impossible. Congress & War Powers: In Washington, House Republicans abruptly canceled a vote that would have forced Trump to get congressional approval to keep fighting in Iran, underscoring slipping support for the war even inside the GOP. Nuclear Standoff: Trump again vowed the US will “recover” Iran’s highly enriched uranium despite Tehran’s refusal, while Iran signals it will not transfer it abroad. Shipping & Insurance: A new report argues the real brake on tankers isn’t Iran’s navy alone—it’s insurance risk as Hormuz remains effectively constrained. Markets: Stocks edged up on cautious diplomacy hopes, but oil and crypto stayed jumpy as traders weigh whether talks hold. Regional Pressure: Iran condemned fresh US sanctions tied to Lebanon, while Oman and Iran discussed a fee/toll approach for Hormuz despite US warnings.
