DAILY SUMMARY
The situation in the Middle East remains elevated as the U.S. and Israel continue operations against Iran and Iranian retaliatory actions continue across the region. President Trump extended the Strait of Hormuz ultimatum and signalled a potential ground deployment of U.S. personnel, indicating further military escalation. Iranian retaliatory strikes against U.S. military and civilian infrastructure in the Gulf remain likely.
Major airspace across the Middle East, including Iran, Israel, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Iraq, and Syria remain closed, resulting in continued widespread flight cancellations and diversions.
