Impact verdict

Low impact. Loss pathway: Interstate military strikes with potential damage to transport infrastructure and ports in Kuwait and Bahrain. Evidence: No quantified insured loss, damage inventory, or casualty figure reported. Limit: Without damage inventory or stated insured loss figure, there is no credible route to USD 100m insured market loss on current evidence; escalation context alone does not establish quantum.
