AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Iraq’s new PM takes charge: Ali al-Zaidi officially assumed duties and pledged a “comprehensive” reform push to diversify the economy beyond oil and crack down on corruption, after parliament approved 14 of 23 ministerial posts. Political shake-up: The National Contract Party and Sumariyoun Movement quit al-Sudani’s coalition, accusing leaders of marginalizing elected representatives. Russia ties: Vladimir Putin sent congratulations to al-Zaidi, stressing deep “friendship” and cooperation. Travel watch: With the region still tense, Iraq’s World Cup spotlight keeps growing—Philadelphia already has a match schedule that includes Iraq, and hotel demand across North America is reportedly weaker than expected. Background on the wider conflict: Iran-US talks remain stuck on trust and security guarantees, while Strait of Hormuz disruptions continue to ripple into energy and travel costs.
