GCC condemns attacks on Saudi and Qatari tankers and on member-state territory
The GCC condemned attacks on the Saudi tanker Wadiyan and Qatari tanker Al Rekayyat while transiting Hormuz, as well as repeated attacks affecting Bahrain and Kuwait. The statement linked the incidents to maritime safety, energy supply and compliance with UN Security Council Resolution 2817. Horizon reads the signal as a decision input, not as proof of automatic demand.

Business impact
- Tanker incidents are direct evidence for route and energy-supply risk, not a general claim that every GCC operation has stopped.
- Companies should map dependence on seaborne inputs, inventory buffers and alternative routing by country and product.
- Marine insurance, sanctions and force-majeure wording require transaction-specific review.
