In a recent article by Energy Intelligence, Hans Tino Hansen, CEO of Risk Intelligence, shared his perspective on the escalating tensions in the Middle East and their potential implications on regional infrastructure.

Published on 2 August 2024, the article delves into the mounting concerns of a broader conflict following recent strikes by Israel on Hezbollah targets and the assassination of Hamas' Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran. Hansen shared his perspective on the potential targets in such a conflict, highlighting the increased security around key energy infrastructure in the region.

The CEO of Risk Intelligence discussed the possible implications for strategic assets in the region, emphasising that while Hezbollah might consider targeting gas fields and other critical infrastructure, such actions are unlikely due to the long-term interests of Hezbollah and Lebanon. He pointed out that the improved defensive measures around these assets and the broader geopolitical risks involved would likely deter large-scale attacks on energy infrastructure.
