In the early morning of the 13th, Israel launched a large-scale air strike on many places in Iran, bombing Iran's nuclear facilities and killing several senior Iranian military commanders and nuclear scientists. Iran announced a counterattack and launched multiple rounds of missile and drone attacks on Israel. So far, Iran and Israel have launched multiple rounds of military strikes against each other.

Currently, foreign traders have reported that due to the closure of the airspace of Israel and Iran, air freight from the Middle East and Central Asia have been affected.

Israel, Iran, Iraq and Jordan closed their airspace on June 13. Cargo transported to these countries or through the airspace of these countries has been affected. They are either stranded at the shipping airport or forced to land at other airports, and they need to wait for the situation to stabilize before they can start transportation again.

Late at night on the 13th to the early morning of the 14th, the Israeli Air Force launched another wave of attacks on Tehran, the capital of Iran. The Mehrabad International Airport in Tehran launched a large-scale air strike, a large number of Iranian air force fighter jets were destroyed, and Iran's civil aviation industry was also severely damaged. In addition, Payam Airport, which mainly cargo business near Tehran, the capital of Iran, was attacked by Israeli missiles on June 18.

DHL has issued an emergency notice recently: shipments sent to the following countries have been suspended: Israel (IL), Iran (IR), Iraq (IQ), Jordan (JO), Lebanon (LB).

The Israeli-Iran conflict mainly affects the Persian Gulf, the Red Sea and the Strait of Hormuz.

On June 14, Iran issued a clear warning to the United Kingdom, the United States and France through its official news agency Mehle: If the three countries assist Israel in resisting Iran's retaliation and strike, its military bases in the Middle East will become targets. Tehran also emphasized that the warships and merchant ships in the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea were also within the range of attack.

In addition, Iranian senior officials publicly stated on June 15 that they are "considering closing the Strait of Hormuz."

Some shipping companies are already considering changing to the Cape of Good Hope route in Africa. This choice means an increase in range of 10 to 14 days, which not only pushes up fuel and labor costs, but also leads to tight global capacity scheduling. Especially for time-sensitive routes.

Hapag-Lloyd said he is paying close attention to the development of geopolitics in the Middle East. As always, the safety of seafarers, ships and cargo and the reliability of our services remain a priority.

The business is not affected at present, and business in the region is still continuing without interruption. Ship timetables, port docking and inland transportation will continue as planned and will continue to make every effort to maintain service levels.

Maersk said that given the recent escalation in the Middle East that began on June 12, 2025, the priority remains the safety and well-being of colleagues in the affected areas. It is nice to confirm that all Maersk employees are currently safe.

As a preventive measure, teams in affected areas have been advised to work remotely. At the same time, business continuity procedures have been initiated to minimize potential interference to operations and services.

Dafei also said that the safety of teams, ships and cargo is the top priority. In response to the ever-changing geopolitical environment of the Middle East Gulf region, Dafei has launched a dedicated monitoring team to closely monitor all developments to ensure maximum safety of operations and cargo.

At this stage, Dafei confirmed that maritime transportation activities in the region are under normal circumstances and that operations and logistics chains have not been affected. We will continue to ensure full service on all routes and ports of call and provide the same quality standards for our customers.

In actual operations, some cargo owners have begun to modify the destination port, delay loading or choose to transfer to ports in South Asia, Africa and even Australia. In particular, cross-border e-commerce platforms have responded the most quickly with time-sensitive automobile and cold chain logistics companies.

The shipping insurance market responded quickly because Iran publicly threatened to crack down on military facilities, warships and commercial ships in the United States, Britain, France, and the Middle East. According to the London Insurance Association, the war insurance surcharge in the Persian Gulf and the Red Sea may be raised to the peak of the Houthi period last year, and the surcharge premium in some regions may reach 0.5%-1% of the value of the goods.

It is worth noting that the current impact is not only on short-term freight transportation. Many foreign traders also reported that as the conflict intensifies, Iranian and Israeli customers have basically suspended orders and are currently in a wait-and-see state; some foreign traders have plans to go to nearby areas to participate in exhibitions and acquire customers, and have also cancelled their trips.

We hereby remind relevant foreign trade and logistics companies that we should pay attention to the latest progress of this incident, as well as the latest shipment schedule, freight rate, cargo tracking and other information to avoid unnecessary losses.
