TKMS sees increased demand from Middle East following Iran war FRANKFURT, Aug 12 (Reuters) - Warship builder TKMS TKMS.DE is seeing increased demand from the Middle East region in the wake of the Iran war, the group's CEO told journalists on Wednesday, singling out mine countermeasure technology as a field where this was playing out.
