Iran Live Map is a conflict tracker that turns public reporting on the 2026 Iran war into a live map, a chronological news feed and a permanent page for every tracked incident. It launched in the opening weeks of the war, when reports of strikes, missile launches and naval incidents were scattered across dozens of outlets and channels in several languages, and it has tracked the conflict continuously since. A second desk, the Ukraine War Map, applies the same system to the war in Ukraine.
The site is an independent, one-person project operated from Sweden. It has no corporate owner, no government funding and no affiliation with any party to the conflicts it covers. It is paid for by advertising and by readers who choose to support it, and neither has any influence on what appears on the map.
We do not have reporters on the ground. What we do is compile, map, time-stamp and assess what public sources report: international, Israeli, Iranian and regional news outlets, official military channels and public open-source intelligence feeds. Every incident on the map links to the reporting it was compiled from, so readers can check the original claim rather than take our word for it. The full process is described on the methodology page.
The Iran desk covers Iran, Israel and Lebanon, Iraq, Syria, Yemen and the Red Sea, the Strait of Hormuz and the Gulf states, with a page for each: Iran, Israel-Iran, Strait of Hormuz, Gulf states, Iraq, Syria and Yemen. The newest reports are on the Iran war live updates page, and the historical parallels tool compares the current pattern of reports with twelve earlier escalations.

The incident records compiled here — headlines, categories, timestamps, locations and source links, on both the Iran and the Ukraine desk — may be quoted, reused and republished free of charge with attribution to Iran Live Map and a link to live-iran-map.com. The linked source material remains the property of its original publisher and is not covered by this permission. No formal open-data licence is claimed, and the dataset is provided as compiled, without warranty. For bulk exports, automated access or commercial use, ask through the contact page.
Corrections, source suggestions, press questions and technical problems all go through the contact page. The terms of use explain what the site is, and is not, meant for.
Is Iran Live Map an official or government source? No. It is an independent publication with no government, military or corporate affiliation. It compiles public reporting and links to it; it does not speak for any party to the conflict.
Does the site verify the reports it shows? Inclusion on the map is not independent confirmation. Reports are checked for scope, grouped, geolocated and assessed for severity and confidence, and each one links to its source so readers can judge the original claim. The methodology page describes the full process.
How is the site funded? Voluntary reader support through Buy Me a Coffee helps with hosting, maintenance and improvements. Support is optional and does not influence coverage.
