AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoIsrael-Lebanon Ceasefire: Israel and Lebanon agreed to implement a US-mediated ceasefire, but it’s conditional on a complete halt in Hezbollah fire and the evacuation of Hezbollah operatives from south of the Litani, alongside “pilot zones” where the Lebanese army takes exclusive control; talks are set to resume in the week of June 22. Hezbollah-Linked Tensions: Despite the deal, Israel carried out strikes in southern Lebanon hours after the announcement, while Hezbollah said it intercepted drones and fired rockets at Israeli positions, keeping the ceasefire fragile. US-Iran War Powers Clash: In Washington, the US House passed a war powers resolution to force an end to hostilities with Iran unless Congress approves further action, a rare bipartisan rebuke of President Trump after a 215-208 vote. Gulf Escalation and Energy Shock: Iran-linked attacks hit Kuwait’s main airport and Bahrain, while the US said it disabled a tanker bound for Iran and carried out self-defense strikes near Qeshm Island; the Strait of Hormuz remains a major worry for oil and inflation. Markets and Daily Life: Gold rose on ceasefire hopes, while Bitcoin slid to pre-Iran-conflict lows as risk sentiment worsened; in Iran, prices are climbing “by the hour” amid the blockade and supply strain. Regional Politics: Netanyahu faces plunging support in northern Israel as voters demand a tougher Lebanon stance amid Hezbollah rocket fire.
