The escalating conflict involving the United States, Israel, and Iran has generated strategic implications extending beyond the Middle East and significantly affected global maritime security dynamics. The Indo-Pacific region, as a center of global trade and a critical corridor for international energy distribution, has become increasingly vulnerable to the consequences of such escalation. This study aimed to analyze the impact of Middle Eastern conflict escalation on Indo-Pacific maritime security stability and formulate strategic measures to enhance regional resilience. The research employed a qualitative descriptive approach through a literature review, analysis of strategic documents, international reports, and scholarly publications related to maritime security and geopolitics. The findings indicated that potential disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz could affect Sea Lines of Communication (SLOCs), increase energy security risks, intensify the militarization of maritime domains, and heighten geopolitical uncertainty across the Indo-Pacific region. The study recommended strengthening Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA), enhancing maritime diplomacy, expanding regional security cooperation, and developing technology-based early warning systems as key strategies to maintain maritime security stability and strengthen national energy resilience.
