About WTF Iran

WTF Iran is an independent, nonpartisan tracker of Iran-related ceasefire agreements and breakdowns from 2024 to the present — direct Israel–Iran exchanges, Hezbollah/Lebanon, the Houthis/Yemen, and the Gaza ceasefire as it touches Iran's network. It exists because the news moves fast and the deals keep breaking, and no existing source lays out simply what's holding and what isn't.

Sourcing

Every entry cites primary sources: UN press releases and resolutions, OCHA, ceasefire monitoring mechanisms, and official statements from mediating states. Casualty figures come from attributed sources (ACLED, UN OCHA). News outlets and analysis sites (Reuters, AP, Crisis Group) are read as references while curating — never republished.

The "who broke it" rule

Attributing a breach is the most politically loaded claim this site makes, so it has a strict rule: the "who broke it" box only appears when attribution is backed by a named adjudicating body (UN, a ceasefire monitoring mechanism) or ≥2 credible named outlets. Where attribution is genuinely disputed across sources, the box appears with a basis of "contested" — surfacing the dispute rather than suppressing it. The basis is always shown next to the claim, so you know exactly on what authority blame is assigned.

Casualty figures

Every casualty estimate ships with its source attached. Where figures are contested (ACLED and OCHA often differ substantially), the discrepancy is noted, never papered over. No guessed numbers are presented as fact.

Editorial stance

Blunt but factual. The site calls a collapsed deal collapsed and admits when the situation is chaotic. Every claim that could be disputed — a breach, a casualty figure — carries its basis and source.
