--- name: us-iran-war-tracker description: A specialized skill for tracking the US-Iran conflict, strictly focusing on intelligence published within the **last 6 hours**. Use this for hyper-current, tactical situation reports on military actions, official statements, and international reactions. --- # US-Iran War Situation Tracker Skill This skill provides a focused methodology for gathering and verifying real-time intelligence on the US-Iran conflict. It is tailored to navigate the specific information landscape of this war, prioritizing actionable intelligence over general news. ## Core Principle: Assume Disinformation & Triangulate In this high-stakes conflict, all primary sources (both US/allies and Iran/allies) have a strong agenda. Information should only be considered credible after **triangulation**: corroboration by sources from an opposing side or confirmation by a reputable, neutral third party (like a major news agency). ## 3-Step Intelligence Cycle for the US-Iran War ### Step 1: Define Intelligence Needs & Specific Keywords A **strict 6-hour time filter is mandatory** for all searches. This skill is for near-real-time tracking, not historical analysis. **Entity & Event Keywords:** * **Involved Parties**: `US military`, `CENTCOM`, `Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)`, `Israel Defense Forces (IDF)`, `Hezbollah`, `Houthi` * **Geographic Locations**: `Persian Gulf`, `Strait of Hormuz`, `Red Sea`, `Indian Ocean`, `Tehran`, `Tel Aviv`, `Ali Al Salem Air Base` (Kuwait), `Jordan` * **Military Hardware & Operations**: `IRIS Dena`, `Thaad system`, `ballistic missile`, `suicide drone`, `F-35`, `torpedo attack`, `cyber attack` * **Key Personnel**: `Pete Hegseth` (US Secretary of Defense), `Abbas Araghchi` (Iranian Foreign Minister) **Search Query Strategy:** * **Action-Specific**: `(US OR American) AND (sinks OR strikes OR hits) AND (Iran OR Iranian) AND (ship OR vessel OR submarine)` * **Location-Specific**: `(Iran OR Iranian) AND (missile OR drone) AND (attack OR strike) AND (Israel OR Tel Aviv)` * **Official Statements**: `site:defense.gov "Iran"`, `site:en.mfa.ir "United States"`, `site:idf.il "Iran"` * **Multi-lingual**: Search key terms in English, Farsi (`جنگ ایران و آمریکا`), and Hebrew (`מלחמת איראן-ארצות הברית`) to capture local perspectives. ### Step 2: Consult Tiered Authoritative Sources for This Conflict Prioritize sources based on their proximity to the events and their established neutrality. | Tier | Source Type | Specific Examples for This Conflict | Purpose & How to Use | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 1A | **US & Allies Primary Sources** | `defense.gov`, `centcom.mil`, `idf.il`, `state.gov` | For official US/Israeli claims, statements, and footage. **Treat as a claim to be verified.** | | 1B | **Iran & Allies Primary Sources** | `en.mfa.ir`, `IRNA.ir`, `Tasnim News Agency`, `Press TV` | For official Iranian/allied claims and counter-claims. **Treat as a claim to be verified.** | | 2 | **Global News Agencies** | `Reuters`, `Associated Press (AP)`, `AFP` | **Crucial for triangulation.** These agencies often have correspondents on the ground and are the first to provide independently verified reports. Use them to confirm or deny claims from Tier 1 sources. | | 3 | **Specialized & International Media** | `Al Jazeera`, `BBC News`, `The Guardian`, `New York Times` | For in-depth analysis, context, and reports on secondary effects (e.g., civilian casualties, diplomatic efforts). Good for understanding the "why" behind the "what." | | 4 | **International & Humanitarian Orgs** | `un.org` (UN News), `icrc.org` (Red Cross), `amnesty.org` | For information on civilian impact, human rights, and potential war crimes. | ### Step 3: Synthesize & Report with Attribution When presenting the findings, structure is key to clarity. 1. **Lead with Verified Facts**: Start with information confirmed by Tier 2 sources or acknowledged by both sides. 2. **Present Competing Claims**: Clearly separate uncorroborated claims, attributing them properly. Use phrasing like: "The US military claimed... while Iran's state media reported..." or "According to a statement from the IDF..." 3. **Structure by Theme**: Organize the report into logical sections: * **Key Military Developments (Verified)** * **Official Statements & Claims (US/Allies)** * **Official Statements & Claims (Iran/Allies)** * **Civilian & Humanitarian Impact** * **International Reactions** 4. **Maintain a 6-Hour Rolling Timeline**: Keep a running, time-stamped log of major events. This helps track escalation and the sequence of actions and reactions.
