INDO-PACIFIC — As of June 27, 2025, the maritime security situation in the Middle East reflects a strengthening ceasefire and a return to normal commercial traffic levels through the Strait of Hormuz (SoH).
No hostilities have been reported in the past 72 hours, and the SoH remains open despite Iran’s parliamentary motion to close it on June 23, 2025, which awaits a final decision.
However, the regional threat level remains significant, with persistent electronic interference affecting navigation systems and specific threats to U.S.-associated shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
