Iran Strikes Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan
Early morning, the IRGC launches ballistic missile and drone attacks on multiple US‑allied sites: a desalination plant and oil facility in Kuwait, plus air bases in Bahrain and Jordan. Kuwait's airport is forced to close, and casualties are reported.
Seventh Night of US Strikes
US forces hit bridges, power facilities, and additional infrastructure deep inside Iran, broadening the target set.
US gas price spikes again
National average gasoline price reaches $3.98 after a second consecutive 5-cent overnight jump, a $1 increase from pre-conflict levels, according to AAA.
Houthis Prepare Red Sea Closure, IRGC Oversight Confirmed
Reports emerge that Iran instructed the Houthis to close Bab el-Mandeb in response. Houthis deploy missiles and drones near the strait, with IRGC officers stationed in Yemen to control the operation.
Houthis Fire Missiles at Saudi Arabia
Demonstrating regional escalation, the Houthis launch ballistic missiles at Saudi territory, broadening the conflict.
Strait traffic collapses
Only 8 vessel crossings recorded in the Strait of Hormuz, the lowest activity in three weeks and down from over 130 pre-war, per Kpler.
Trump Threatens Attack on Iranian Power Infrastructure
President Trump warns the U.S. may strike Iran's power grid, escalating the conflict and prompting Iran's retaliatory threat.
US Begins Nightly Strikes
The US launches the first of what would become seven straight nights of airstrikes on Iranian military targets, initially focusing on logistics hubs.
Ceasefire Collapses
A US‑Iran ceasefire breaks down, opening the door to renewed hostilities.
Systemic Chaos
Widespread reports confirm Iran has tightened its electronic grip on the Strait of Hormuz, affecting 1 in 5 transit vessels.
Maritime Ghosting
Reports emerge of tankers appearing in Iranian ports via AIS while physically located in international waters.
Aviation Warnings
International aviation bodies issue warnings regarding GPS spoofing affecting commercial flights over Iraq and Iran.
Conflict Escalation
Regional tensions trigger a surge in electronic warfare and signal interference in the Middle East.
The Strait of Hormuz is effectively closed to shipping after tanker attacks and renewed U.S. strikes on Iranian targets. Logistics and procurement teams face immediate fuel price increases and potential rerouting of Gulf oil cargoes. New U.S. sanctions add another layer of trade and compliance risk.
A July 29 drone hit on the Energos Winter, a key FSRU supplying over a third of Egypt’s natural gas, triggered a port fire and vessel evacuations. The incident rattles LNG supply chains, threatens insurance costs, and could force rerouting decisions for gas-dependent industries and power grids.

Only eight tankers crossed the Strait of Hormuz on July 16, down from 130+ before the US-Iran war, effectively shutting down a fifth of global oil flow. Supply chain managers are now facing spiking war-risk premiums, rerouting impossibilities, and the real prospect of a prolonged blockade that will reverberate through freight costs and fuel availability.
Strategic nodes in the Gulf supply chain are under direct assault. A Kuwaiti desalination facility and international airport were rendered inoperable, while repeated hits on a Kuwait Petroleum Corporation site threaten crude output. The crisis forces a re-routing of logistics and a spike in insurance premiums.
Iranian missile and drone attacks forced Kuwait International Airport to suspend operations and damaged a desalination plant. Crude prices jumped over 4%, threatening global supply chains reliant on Gulf energy and logistics hubs.
The near-total shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz has driven U.S. gasoline prices up $1.00 in weeks, threatening global oil supply chains. With only 8 tanker crossings recorded on July 17 vs. 130+ pre-war, logistics managers face soaring fuel surcharges, war-risk insurance spikes, and potential inventory shortages.

The threat to close Bab el-Mandeb, combined with an already shut Hormuz, could choke off all Middle East oil exports, sparking a logistics nightmare. Shipping routes, insurance costs, and global trade flows face unprecedented disruption.
The collapse of the US-Iran ceasefire and renewed strikes on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz are sending oil prices sharply higher, with Brent crude up 5.7% to $78.41. For supply chain managers, this means escalating fuel costs, heightened war risk premiums on maritime insurance, and potential rerouting away from a chokepoint that handles 20% of global oil trade. The Treasury's withdrawal of Iran's oil sale waiver further tightens supply, amplifying procurement and logistics risks.

The Nigerian advisory is a direct consequence of a supply-chain nightmare: IRGC control over the Strait of Hormuz threatens to block oil tankers carrying 20% of global crude. For Nigerian expatriates and the nation’s own crude exports, the disruption could upend logistics, shrink remittances, and force costly rerouting.
Iran is reportedly utilizing sophisticated GPS spoofing to manipulate maritime and aviation traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. This electronic warfare tactic creates 'ghost' vessels and navigation chaos, significantly increasing risks for global energy and freight logistics.
