Middle East: Scenarios of US-Iran escalation in the region

We anticipate further periods of uncertainty across the region that could push the US and Iran closer to a military confrontation in the coming months. Tensions between the two remain high, and the risk of miscalculation and escalation persists. Developments in recent weeks have provided a glimpse at potential challenges for businesses across the Middle East as a result.

At this briefing, we will outline the most probable triggers for a US-Iran escalation, and discuss the regional implications for businesses across the region. Attacks this month against oil infrastructure and vessels in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, as well as the evacuation of US diplomatic staff from Iraq, have already shown the wider-reaching implications of these tensions.

The event will take the form of a briefing and roundtable discussion. Places are limited and preference will be given to Risk Advisory clients. The event will also be streamed by live webinar at both 0900hrs and 1400hrs BST. At the end of the briefing, there will be an opportunity for questions.
