"The new event explicitly cites the 'ongoing threat from Iran' as the reason for restricting crew overnights. Event [2] describes a direct military confrontation where Iran claims to have downed a US drone, which is a concrete manifestation of that threat and a primary driver for heightened risk assessments in the region."
