The war is
still running.
After every cost traced in this project, 2026 opens another front: US and Israeli strikes on Iran, Lebanon pulled into the conflict, civilians displaced, energy routes under pressure.
Not a forecast. Not a live feed. A frozen observation of an unfinished war — 43 days that became displacement, casualties, energy pressure, failed talks.
In 2026, the war
is still open.
This final line follows a conflict still in motion: US and Israeli strikes against Iran, Lebanon drawn into the theatre, displacement rising, Hormuz under pressure, and diplomacy failing before the data freeze.
The strike campaign begins.
US and Israeli forces strike Iran. Military events begin to accumulate across the field. Blue marks recorded military actions — not people, and not deaths.
Lebanon becomes a second front.
Four days later, Lebanon enters the frame. The conflict is no longer confined to Iran: the line of impact widens across the region.
The line becomes displacement.
By late March, the human signal is no longer secondary. More than one million people are displaced in Lebanon as the conflict spreads beyond the first strike zone.
The shock reaches energy.
Brent crude reaches its peak in the snapshot. The conflict becomes visible in fuel prices, shipping risk and the pressure around the Strait of Hormuz.
A ceasefire is not an ending.
A ceasefire is announced. Strikes continue. US–Iran talks collapse without agreement. At the data freeze, the conflict remains unresolved.
The project began with deaths.
It ends with a war still open.

numbers
This section is a frozen snapshot, not a live monitor. It follows 43 days in which a US–Israel strike campaign against Iran widened into Lebanon, produced displacement, generated casualty reporting, pressured energy routes and ended the observed period without diplomatic resolution.
Blue marks military events. Purple marks displacement. Green marks energy pressure. Red marks civilian deaths — non-combatants killed in violence directed at the civilian population. Counts are shown as source-specific figures or verified ranges; they are not summed unless a source defines them as a total.
