AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Strait of Hormuz Tensions: Iran fired ballistic missiles at a U.S. air base in Jordan, as the U.S. carried out five hours of strikes on Iranian targets. Jordan said its air defences intercepted and shot down four missiles entering Jordanian airspace, with no casualties reported, while the U.S. Embassy warned Americans to shelter from possible missiles, drones or rockets. Regional Fallout: The exchange of attacks also hit Gulf states, with sirens reported in Bahrain and missiles targeting Kuwait and Qatar, pushing oil prices higher and raising fresh fears of the conflict widening. Local Security & Diplomacy: Jordan condemned a Houthi ballistic missile attack on southern Saudi Arabia and reiterated solidarity with Riyadh. Government Moves: A Royal Decree approved a Cabinet reshuffle, appointing Nidal Katamine as Minister of Transport and Labour. Water Crisis Response: Jordan is overhauling its water sector with a World Bank-backed efficiency project aimed at cutting losses and improving supply for 1.6 million people. Parliament & Law: The Lower House began discussing amendments to the Universities Law, while the Senate elected Abdullah Ensour as First Deputy Speaker and Hani Mulki as Second Deputy. Transport Upgrade: A tender was issued for a new King Hussein Bridge public transport station to ease congestion at the gate. Real Estate Draft Law: Government published key features of the amended 2026 Real Estate Ownership draft law, including faster procedures and rules for non-Jordanian ownership. Crime Update: A man described as a person of interest in the Jamey Carney murder case has been detained in Jordan, with extradition possible if Ireland brings charges.
