UPDATE – June 20, 2025

As of 3:45 PM UAE time on June 20, 2025, the regional logistics environment remains operational but risk-sensitive. There are no new closures or access restrictions, but strategic chokepoints—especially the Strait of Hormuz—continue to experience high insurance costs, detours, and capacity pressure. Air cargo routes remain tight, with Gulf carriers adjusting schedules. Road corridors are stable, and major business hubs in the Gulf are intensifying contingency planning.

Comparison: June 20 Morning vs June 20 Afternoon

Air: Conditions unchanged; capacity still constrained.
Sea: Risk level sustained; insurance costs stable at high levels.
Road: No change; GCC network remains reliable.
Business Risk: Continued escalation in preparedness activities.
