IranWar.ai: An Open-Source Event-Level Dataset of the 2026 US–Iran Conflict

Event-level research dataset covering the first 30 days of the 2026 US–Iran conflict (Operation Epic Fury, February 28–March 29, 2026). Comprises 1,653 observations across 48 variables and nine analytical domains (military strikes, retaliations, financial markets, humanitarian impacts, diplomatic events, naval operations, cyber activity, general military, and contextual data), integrating open-source intelligence from more than 60 source streams including CENTCOM, the IDF, ACLED, the Iranian Red Crescent, the IAEA, Bloomberg, and the IMO. Released with full transparency about its own limitations — interpolated values, unverified records, and probabilistic confidence ratings — as a deliberate counter-technology against the structural and strategic layers of the information flood. The release includes the dashboard architecture, a reproducible research data extraction script, codebook, prompts, and versioned research asset releases. → Access the complete event-level dataset and accompanying preprint directly in the /ResearchData directory of the repository on GitHub: https://github.com/jethomasphd/WarTheater
