Iran launches missile and drone strikes on Gulf neighbor states

Impact verdict

High impact. Loss pathway: Direct Iranian missile and drone strikes on Gulf neighbour states threaten material insured exposure across Gulf energy infrastructure (refineries, LNG terminals, offshore platforms in Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain), commercial property, port facilities, airports, US military bases, and vessels in the Persian Gulf/Strait of Hormuz. Evidence: Three independent mainstream-media sources (express.co.uk, iranherald.com, tribune.com.pk) corroborate Iranian strikes against Gulf states and US military positions; the Arab League has formally condemned aggression against Kuwait, Bahrain and Jordan; Iranian Revolutionary Guard claims 21 US military targets were hit; GDELT themes reference ports, transport infrastructure, oil and natural gas, drones, air defence systems, and armed conflict. Limit: No source provides confirmed damage assessments, named insured facilities, casualty counts, or loss estimates; potential further escalation could expand the loss footprint across War Risk, Energy, Property, Marine, Political Violence and Aviation lines. A target list of 'UAE, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and/or Oman' carried forward from the prior event summary is not directly supported by the current sources, which name Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan and US military positions.
