SITREP INDEX
55 · ELEVATED
Stable — 0 vs yesterday
Iran anchors the board at 76.3, on 2,206 tracked conflict events and 33 articles across 12 sources. Leading today's signal: a UN commission of inquiry has found Israel is committing genocide in Gaza by deliberately targeting children (BBC). The index held at 55, with Israel the day's sharpest mover after the finding. Markets turned jittery, with volatility up 5.81%.
● Low 0–39
● Guarded 40–54
● Elevated 55–69
● Critical 70+
The SITREP Index (0–100) blends a structural conflict base (UN/HDX HAPI) with a live news-velocity layer across 21 sources. Higher = greater global instability; a directional signal, not a forecast.
