Eastern Province and Red Sea hubs at particular risk, given the claimed 48-hour multi-site campaign and eight coalition intercepts on 21-22 Oct. An IRGC move against US bases remains unlikely unless the US joins Saudi strikes on Sanaa, Hodeidah or missile sites, but the explicit warning raises miscalculation risk. Oil prices will likely stay volatile near $110-115 even if physical flows hold, as mine claims and evacuation headlines sustain a risk premium.","pulses":[{"band":"critical","change_24h":0,"change_7d":-4,"id":"pls_iran_gulf_hormuz_maritime_disruption","name":"Strait of Hormuz Maritime Disruption","position":86},{"band":"critical","change_24h":1,"change_7d":4,"id":"pls_iran_gulf_iran_proxy_axis_escalation","name":"Iran Proxy Axis Escalation","position":99},{"band":"critical","change_24h":0,"change_7d":0,"id":"pls_iran_gulf_us_iran_israel_military_confrontation","name":"US-Iran-Israel Direct Military Confrontation","position":78},{"band":"severe","change_24h":0,"change_7d":0,"id":"pls_red_sea_shipping_red_sea_bab_el_mandeb_disruption","name":"Red Sea–Bab el-Mandeb Shipping Disruption","position":60},{"band":"severe","change_24h":3,"change_7d":5,"id":"pls_energy_security_energy_price_and_market_shock","name":"Energy Price and Market Shock","position":70},{"band":"critical","change_24h":0,"change_7d":-6,"id":"pls_energy_security_global_hydrocarbon_supply_disruption","name":"Global Hydrocarbon Supply Disruption","position":77},{"band":"severe","change_24h":0,"change_7d":0,"id":"pls_red_sea_shipping_war_risk_insurance_freight_pressure","name":"War-Risk Insurance and Freight Cost Pressure","position":65},{"band":"severe","change_24h":0,"change_7d":0,"id":"pls_iran_gulf_us_iran_diplomatic_deadlock","name":"US-Iran Diplomatic Deadlock","position":74}],"saga":"The United States, Iran, the Houthi movement in Yemen and Saudi Arabia are locked in a contest over shipping through the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea.
