Iran resumes strikes on commercial vessels in Strait of Hormuz

Impact verdict

Medium impact. The clearest insured loss pathway remains direct war risk, marine hull, and marine cargo exposure from reported strikes on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. The corridor is a critical oil transit chokepoint with established London Market participation, so even limited confirmed attacks can affect war risk pricing and aggregation assumptions. However, vessel identification, damage severity, and insured values are still not confirmed, and source reporting differs on the number of vessels struck, constraining loss quantification.
