AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoAutonomous Rescue in Hormuz: A U.S. AH-64 Apache crashed off Oman after a reported Iranian drone incident, and the two crew members were recovered in a first-of-its-kind operation using a U.S. Navy Saronic Corsair unmanned surface drone boat, with the U.S. calling the follow-up strikes on Iran a “proportional response.” Regional Shockwaves: The crash triggered rapid U.S.-Iran escalation, with Iran reporting attacks on Bahrain and Kuwait and the U.S. targeting Iranian air-defense and radar sites, raising fresh fears for the Strait of Hormuz and global supply chains.

Connectivity Boost: The EU pledged €37 million to extend the Google-linked Blue-Raman subsea cable into East Africa, improving links that already run through the Middle East and Oman. Cyber Governance: Oman’s government acknowledged limits in unmasking fake Facebook accounts, pointing to gaps in digital enforcement capacity and pending stronger cybercrime mechanisms.
