About the Editorial Team

Iran War Updates is a conflict-monitoring project built around source discipline, dated revisions, and explicit separation between confirmed reporting and scenario analysis.

What This Site Is

A reporting and explainer desk
The site focuses on Iran, Israel, Gulf, sanctions, energy, and transport coverage. Pages are being narrowed so each one owns a distinct reader question instead of repeating the same broad recap.
A source-traceable workflow
Primary documents, official advisories, intergovernmental bodies, and named reporting are reviewed before material claims are updated. The goal is smaller, more useful, and more checkable pages.
A dated revision model
Articles are revised when the evidence baseline changes. Absolute dates are preferred over vague relative timing so readers can judge recency and stability for themselves.

How Claims Are Reviewed

Material claims should be supportable by primary documents, official statements, or named reporting that can be checked independently. When evidence is incomplete, the page should say so plainly.

Source Hierarchy

1. Primary and official
IAEA, UN, MARAD, FAA, EASA, OFAC, ministries, courts, and directly published government or intergovernmental documents.
2. Named reporting
Reuters, AP, BBC, NPR, and other named reporting are used when they add verified chronology, quotes, or on-the-ground detail not available in documents alone.
3. Specialist analysis
Think tanks and technical explainers are used for interpretation, not as substitutes for primary evidence on what happened.

Corrections and Updates

Corrections happen on-page
When new evidence materially changes a claim, the page is revised and the review note is updated. Silent reversals are avoided.
Scenario language is labeled
Forecast content is marked as analysis or scenario work. It is not presented as confirmed reporting.
