Questions people ask

Is Iran being attacked right now?

WARNPOINT’s most recent logged strike or incident is shipping / hormuz incident on Nov 9, 2026 (“IRGC strikes three tankers near Hormuz over ‘US links’”, reported by 3 outlets). 4 logged in the last 30 days. The log updates every 15 minutes from 310+ news sources.

How dangerous is Iran right now?

Iran is rated Severe on WARNPOINT’s open-source instability index, at 61/100. The score measures located violence and crisis reporting inside the country — not how often it is in the news.

Is it safe to travel to Iran?

Government travel advice: U.S. State Department — Level 4 (Do not travel); UK FCDO — Level 4 (Do not travel); Global Affairs Canada — Level 4 (Do not travel); German Foreign Office — Level 4 (Do not travel).

Did the US bomb Iran’s nuclear sites?

Yes. On June 22, 2025, during the 12-day Israel–Iran war, US B-2 bombers dropped bunker-busting bombs on the Fordow and Natanz enrichment sites and US submarines fired cruise missiles at Isfahan. A ceasefire took effect on June 24, 2025. How much damage the strikes did has been disputed.

Has Iran attacked Israel directly?

Yes — first on April 13–14, 2024 (more than 300 drones and missiles), again on October 1, 2024 (about 180 ballistic missiles, by Israel’s count), and with repeated missile barrages during the June 2025 war.

What is the Strait of Hormuz and why does it matter?

The sea lane between Iran and Oman that links the Persian Gulf to the open ocean. About a fifth of the world’s oil consumption passed through it in 2024 (US EIA). The IRGC has seized tankers near it, including the Stena Impero (2019) and the MSC Aries (April 2024).

How much enriched uranium does Iran have?

The IAEA reported 408.6 kg enriched up to 60% in May 2025 — close to the roughly 90% used in weapons — before the June 2025 strikes. Iran then curtailed cooperation with the agency, and the IAEA said it could not verify where the stockpile was. Iran says its programme is peaceful.

Where does this information come from?

From 310+ news outlets WARNPOINT reads around the clock — including Iran International, IranWire, Tehran Times, Al-Monitor and international wires — each graded for reliability. Iranian state media (Tehran Times; IRNA, Press TV, Tasnim and Fars where quoted) is graded S and labelled. Iran International and IranWire are diaspora outlets critical of the Iranian government.
