AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

US-Iran Escalation: The US launched new airstrikes on Iran early Thursday, and Tehran retaliated by targeting US-allied Gulf states, with sirens reported in Bahrain and Jordan and missiles aimed at Kuwait and Qatar—raising fresh fears for the fragile ceasefire. Jordan Air Defence: Jordan said it intercepted eight missiles launched from Iran toward its territory, with no injuries reported, while Iran’s IRGC claimed it struck the Al-Azraq air base. Regional Diplomacy: The EU plans to show solidarity with Gulf states at a high-level Brussels meeting, focusing on freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz and regional stability. Water Security Deal: Jordan and Germany signed a €22.7m debt swap to fund the National Water Carrier Project’s readiness programme, including desalination and major water transmission works. Oman-Jordan Investment: Oman and Jordan launched a $100m joint investment company (RO 38.5m) to back priority sectors like energy, tourism, logistics, and health. Local Governance: A Jordanian former minister urged parliament to fully use constitutional oversight tools to tackle corruption and strengthen accountability. Sports: The Asian Men’s Youth Handball Championship was moved to Amman, running Aug 20-31.
