AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoMiddle East Escalation: The US launched a second straight wave of strikes on Iran after Trump said Tehran was “playing us for suckers,” with CENTCOM citing “self-defense” against surveillance, communications and air-defense sites near the Strait of Hormuz; Iran retaliated and warned it would target vessels, while UN chief António Guterres warned the region could slide back into “full war.” Lebanon Fallout: As tensions spill across the region, reports say Israeli strikes and displacement orders are worsening conditions in southern Lebanon, with UN calls for restraint and aid access. Humanitarian Signals: UNHCR reported global forced displacement fell in 2025 for the first time in a decade (117.8 million), but returns often happened under pressure and insecurity, keeping long-term crises “unacceptably high.” Environment Angle: The renewed Hormuz threat is already pushing oil prices up, raising risks for energy and maritime stability that can quickly translate into pollution and environmental damage.
