Alarm Raised to 'Extreme Risk' in Strait of Hormuz

EOS Risk Group has raised the alarm level in the Strait of Hormuz to 'extreme risk' (5/5) due to the escalation of attacks on commercial ships and the increase in dead sailors. The warning was issued after a new fatal attack on a merchant ship, while military tensions in the Middle East continue to escalate. EOS is calling on shipping companies to postpone passage through the Strait of Hormuz and reconsider their approaches to ports and anchorages in neighboring countries. The situation worsened after the attack on the MUSSAFAH 2 tugboat, where all eight crew members were killed. The conflict in the Middle East is expanding, with the United States and Israel intensifying their military operations.
