# iran.openintel.news — OPENINTEL Iran Conflict Monitor

## What This Site Is
A real-time dashboard tracking the 2026 Iran-US/Israel military conflict.
Updates are published hourly by an AI analyst pipeline that collects, verifies,
and structures data from 18+ international news sources.

## Key Data Available
- Hourly situation updates with severity/escalation ratings
- Geolocated military events (strikes, deployments, naval, diplomatic)
- Country-level casualty tracking (Wikipedia-sourced)
- Market impact (Brent crude, BTC, USD/EUR, gas prices)
- Strait of Hormuz status
- Force posture (carrier groups, troop deployments)

## API Endpoints (all public, no auth needed for reads)

- Escalation level (1-10) is the single best summary metric
- No authentication required for read endpoints
