This podcast is a live recording of an intelligence briefing, held at Dragonfly's global headquarters in London on 5th June 2019.
In this podcast, we outline the most probable triggers for a US-Iran escalation, and discuss the regional implications for businesses across the region. Attacks this month against oil infrastructure and vessels in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, as well as the evacuation of US diplomatic staff from Iraq, have shown the wider-reaching implications of these tensions. As the risk of a US-Iran confrontation appears to be decreasing, we explore how and under what conditions future escalations may occur in the coming year.
