Situation in Iran and Middle East Region

Members are advised of a material escalation in regional security risk following U.S. and Israeli airstrikes against Iranian targets. The situation has increased the likelihood of retaliatory or proxy actions, with potential consequences for commercial shipping operating in, or transiting, the Persian Gulf, Strait of Hormuz, Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.

This page is intended to provide Members with updates, details and links to the latest alerts and advisories available from the Club and other sources of intelligence.
