Ongoing multi-country conflict across the Levant, Arabian Peninsula and Persian Gulf causing systemic insurance market strain. Underwriters reducing capacity and becoming more selective. Supply chain disruption, cargo accumulation, port disruptions and workforce exposure emerging as primary secondary-loss drivers ahead of direct conflict losses. Structural shift from event-driven to condition-driven risk pricing.
