Since hostilities escalated on March 10, 2026, the confrontation between the United States, Israel and Iran has produced near-daily kinetic events: air strikes on Iranian military and nuclear-adjacent infrastructure, ballistic-missile and drone retaliation, tanker seizures and mining incidents in the Strait of Hormuz, and proxy attacks by the Houthis, Hezbollah and Iraqi militias. Global Conflict Awareness aggregates all of it on a single interactive map, with each event geolocated, time-stamped and attributed to its source.

Our Iran theater ingests 89 independent feeds — 63 RSS outlets and 26 Telegram OSINT channels — spanning Western, Israeli, Gulf and Iranian state media. Cross-referenced events are deduplicated and classified by side (US-Israel coalition or Iran-axis), so you can filter the map and the twin news panels by belligerent. Every headline is machine-translated into 17 languages within minutes of publication.

Beyond the live map, GCA maintains a running war-duration counter, daily intelligence briefings per country, e-mail strike alerts with a 30-minute cooldown, and a citizen strike-report system with geographic validation. The full event archive since March 2026 remains browsable.

How this confrontation is structured

The Iran theatre is not a single front. It combines direct exchanges between Israel and Iran, a United States posture spread across the Gulf, and a set of aligned actors operating from Lebanon, Yemen, Iraq and Syria. An event mapped here may therefore belong to any of several overlapping conflicts, which is why side attribution matters more in this theatre than in any other.

Three distinct dynamics run in parallel and should not be read as one. The first is the exchange of strikes on territory, concentrated on military and infrastructure targets. The second is maritime: the Strait of Hormuz carries a large share of seaborne oil, and incidents there — seizures, mining, drone attacks on shipping — have consequences far beyond the theatre. The third is the activity of aligned groups, which is faster, more frequent and harder to attribute with confidence.

Actors you will see in the data

United States — naval and air posture across the Gulf, periodic strikes, force protection incidents.
Israel — the most frequent originator of attributed strikes in this theatre.
Iran — ballistic and drone retaliation, naval activity in and around Hormuz.
Aligned groups — Hezbollah in Lebanon, the Houthis in Yemen, Iraqi militias. Their activity is often reported first on Telegram, which is why corroboration counts matter here.

What is worth watching

Two indicators carry more signal than raw volume. The first is geographic displacement: when events move from one area to another between two briefings, it usually precedes a change of phase. The second is the attribution balance: a sustained shift from one side to the other indicates an initiative changing hands rather than simply more reporting.

Volume alone is a poor indicator. A spike often reflects an increase in reporting intensity — several outlets covering the same event — rather than an increase in activity. This is the reason each briefing reports corroboration rather than a bare count.
