What ConflictClarifier is
A structured, multi-perspective layer over the daily reporting flow on the Iran-Gulf crisis. It does not break news. It collects, deduplicates, labels, and cross-references reports from many outlets so a reader can see how a story is being told, what is verified, what is disputed, and what is missing.
It is not an intelligence agency. It has no classified sources, no operational role, and produces no recommendations.
Five things to know before reading
Reports are not facts.
A claim by a state spokesperson is a report; only after independent triangulation does it become a verified fact on this site. The difference is signalled by verification labels attached to every claim and event.
Confidence is a range, not a verdict.
Verification status is our editorial read at last review. It can move up (more independent sources confirm) or down (contradicting evidence emerges). The date of the version you read matters.
Six perspectives, not one truth.
The same event can read differently from a Western, Iranian, Israeli, Global South, pro-peace, or neutral framing. The compare gallery shows worked examples of how language shifts across viewpoints.
The methodology is public.
Every label, score, and category has a methodology page behind it. If a number surprises you, the methodology pages are the place to test it before treating it as load-bearing for a decision.
Use the site as a layer, not a wire.
ConflictClarifier is not faster than wire services. It is more structured. If you need a breaking-news ticker, your local broadcaster will be quicker. If you need to see how the story has been told and contested, start here.
