Special Advisory: Effects of the Middle East escalation on the Asia Pacific
12.03.2026
The conflict in the Middle East is now reaching across regions, and Asia Pacific (APAC) is starting to feel the effects.
Fast-evolving shifts in military and political activity - including recent US and Israeli strikes in Iran - are adding pressure to energy supply, supply chains and travel. The risk of direct conflict in APAC remains low, but events such as the loss of an Iranian frigate near Sri Lanka and conflict‑linked unrest in Pakistan show how fast disruption can spread.
For organisations in APAC, this means rising travel risk, fragile supply chains and greater pressure on people working across the region. Leaders need clear, trusted insight to plan ahead and protect their teams.
Our special advisory explains what is changing, why it matters, and how you can strengthen preparedness and keep your operations steady.
