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.
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).
A strict 6-hour time filter is mandatory for all searches. This skill is for near-real-time tracking, not historical analysis.

| 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. |
Minimum Length Requirement: The final report delivered to the user MUST be no less than 1,000 words. Depth and completeness are non-negotiable. If verified information is insufficient to meet this threshold, explicitly note the intelligence gaps and provide relevant background context to fill them.
When presenting the findings, structure is key to clarity.
