- Operation ASPIDES has lowered the threat level to moderate for vessels affiliated with U.S. interests.
- The change follows a ceasefire agreement between the U.S., Israel, and Iran on June 24, 2025.
- Vessels linked to Israeli interests still face a severe threat level in the Red Sea, the Strait of Bab El Mandeb, and the Gulf of Aden.
- Ships with no ties to the U.S. or Israel remain under a low risk level, though threats cannot be fully ruled out.
In light of recent regional developments following the ceasefire agreement between the United States, Israel, and Iran on June 24, 2025, Operation ASPIDES has revised its risk assessment for vessels with U.S. affiliations. According to the latest advisory, the threat level is now considered moderate for U.S.-linked vessels navigating the Red Sea, Strait of Bab El Mandeb, and Gulf of Aden.
Meanwhile, the assessment remains severe for vessels connected to Israeli interests in these areas, and low for those with no ties to either country, though the possibility of future targeting cannot be ruled out, as noted by Safety4Sea.
