Iran Israel Conflict Disrupts Regional Construction
As the Israel–Iran conflict enters its second week—triggered by Israel’s strike on Iran on 13 June 2025—tensions in the Middle East continue to escalate, putting investors and businesses on high alert.
The conflict is prompting contingency planning and reshaping risk perceptions, particularly among those with exposure to infrastructure, logistics, and energy corridors across the region.
Following the U.S. strike on Iranian nuclear facilities on 22 June, Iran’s parliament voted to close the Strait of Hormuz. While the final decision rests with Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, the move threatens to disrupt a vital chokepoint for the global economy. The Strait handles roughly 20% of global oil flows and about one-fifth of global liquefied natural gas (LNG) supply, carrying close to 20 million barrels per day.
This Flash Brief outlines the strategic implications for the construction and infrastructure sector in the Middle East and Africa, under the mounting pressure of geopolitical escalation, energy volatility, and shifting investment dynamics.
