Regional risksÌý

Hostilities in the region and between Israel and Iran have the potential to deteriorate further, quickly and without warning. On 22 June the US launched military strikes against Iranian nuclear facilities and on 23 June Iran launched military strikes against a US military base in Qatar. Iran aligned militia groups are also likely to continue to conduct attacks.

The current situation has disrupted air links and may disrupt road links and border crossings. Demonstrations and protest activity may take place.
