The military strikes on Iran and the subsequent regional escalation have significantly increased geopolitical risk across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. In particular, the events have highlighted the vulnerability of key maritime hubs and energy infrastructure. Periods of heightened tension in this region have historically led to disruptions in commercial shipping, threats to offshore and onshore energy assets, and greater uncertainty about international trade flows.

For insurers, such events often translate into an increased perception of risk across marine war risk, energy, aviation, and political risk lines. This has often resulted in tighter underwriting conditions, revised risk pricing, and closer monitoring of exposure to regional supply chains and critical infrastructure. As the current situation evolves, organisations can take steps to contain their risk, protect their people and operations, and manage insurance claims in ways that support their stability and resilience.
