The Middle East conflict is escalating. State and non-state actors are being drawn in as Iranian targets broaden. The US-Israeli attack is set to intensify.
Evacuation from all affected countries remains complex and travel highly risky. Without a robust, end‑to‑end evacuation plan, sheltering in place remains the best advice. Closely monitor updates from trusted national authorities, diplomatic missions and Control Risks.
Many countries have closed their airspace, with partial closures in the UAE and Jordan. Maritime risk is acute: vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz face a high threat environment, and widespread signal interference should be expected across the region.
Cyber risk is elevated. Dozens of cyber activist groups and proxies have claimed disruptive attacks against regional and international organisations, with more sophisticated activity likely as the conflict persists.
