How this development reaches the affected companies
| Asset | Exposure and channel | Direction | Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| BDTI | Higher perceived attack risk raises demand for available crude-tanker capacity and supports tanker freight rates. | Up1-5d | Fars reported that Iranian forces targeted 19 vessels over two nights in the Strait of Hormuz. |
| BRENT CRUDE FUTURES | Potential attacks on vessels through the principal Gulf export route increase the probability of supply delays and additional risk premia. | Upintraday | Iranian state-linked reporting described multiple vessel targets in the waterway, while separate reporting said traffic remained about 75% below pre-conflict levels. |
