AGP Executive Report

Last update: 12 hours ago

Iraq Cabinet Watch: Iraq says cabinet completion is likely to slip until after Eid Al-Adha (May 27), with blocs still trading nominees and the PM expected to pick replacements for vacant ministries before parliament votes. Eid Health Measures: Ahead of the holiday, Iraq has activated anti–Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever steps—tick-control spraying, tighter slaughter rules, and livestock movement restrictions with health certificates. Tourism & Heritage: Uruk is drawing 1,000+ foreign visitors as restoration work expands visitor paths, signage, and facilities with support from the German Archaeological Institute. Ancient Site Recovery: Iraq is also restoring the Ziggurat of Ur with local bricks, aiming to finish key levels by July 2026. Regional Context: The wider week’s headlines stay dominated by US-Iran diplomacy and Strait of Hormuz risk—fuel and logistics pressures are rippling far beyond the region.
