The recent strike in Doha marks a profound shift in the Gulf’s security landscape. Qatar, a nation long seen as a neutral mediator and safe operating environment, has found itself directly drawn into the region’s conflicts. This development has immediate consequences for business continuity, travel safety, and critical infrastructure, not just in Qatar but across the wider Middle East.
Over the next 60 days, the risks of retaliatory attacks, cyber operations, civil unrest, and mobility disruption are significantly heightened. Beyond that window, the precedent of cross-border action on Qatari soil points to a longer-term trend: the Gulf can no longer assume immunity from direct escalation.
In our latest analysis, I outline what happened, what it means for organizations and high-profile individuals, and the protective steps that must be taken now. This is not just about geopolitics, it’s about resilience, preparedness, and safeguarding people and assets in an increasingly unpredictable environment.
