The US attacked IRGC missile launchers on Iran's Larak Island, reportedly targeting weapons poised to threaten the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's Revolutionary Guards warned of retaliation following casualties, while diplomatic outreach by Iran's President suggests possible regional engagement amid ongoing US sanctions pressures.

◆ The Wire takeaway

Your Gulf-region operations face immediate risk from escalating US-Iran tensions that could disrupt shipping and trade routes through Hormuz. Prepare for supply chain shifts and heightened insurance costs linked to this conflict and regional sanctions pressure.
