AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Lebanon Escalation: Israel struck near Nabi Sreij/Brital after earlier raids killed 10, with Beirut saying the latest attack killed six including two rescuers and a child, despite a fragile April 17 ceasefire. Iran–US Deadlock: As diplomacy grinds on, US media says Washington is still preparing possible new strikes on Iran, while Iran insists gaps with the US remain “deep and significant” and blames “excessive demands.” Mediation Push: Pakistan’s army chief Asim Munir is in Tehran for talks with Iran’s foreign minister Abbas Araghchi, as Rubio says there’s “slight progress” but a deal hinges on Hormuz and uranium sticking points. Global Pressure: A World Bank document says 27 countries are seeking access to crisis funds tied to the Iran war fallout. Economic Fallout: Fuel costs keep climbing—India raised petrol and diesel again, the third hike this month—while US economic confidence hits a near four-year low amid gas-price pain. Security Shock: US authorities charged an Iraqi man accused of plotting attacks in Europe and North America, with reports alleging a revenge plan targeting Ivanka Trump.
