Signals for Iraq
| Signal | Reading | What it says |
|---|---|---|
| Tension index | 24 of 100, low | Up 15 on a week (9 a week earlier). Counts what is reported; not a forecast. |
| Internet trafficIraq | Near usual | Iraq's internet traffic is near usual, 108% of the usual traffic for the hour to 20:00 UTC, so it is not down on the latest reading. |
| AirspaceIraq | Cannot be told | Whether Iraq's airspace is open or closed cannot be told from our data, because the receivers reach it only near its borders and sitmap.live needs at least 10 an hour to judge; no closure notice for the whole airspace is in force. |
About this page
This page is worked out from the public reports sitmap.live has stored, grouped into events and rated by how many independent sources carry each; nothing here is official. Report titles are written by AI and can be wrong, and a state such as corroborated says how well sourced a report is, not how true it is. Counts are of reports, by the time each happened in UTC, and are worked out again every few minutes; see the methodology for how states are set.

Where do these reports come from?
From public posts, news items and official alerts that sitmap.live reads, grouped into events and rated by how many independent sources carry each. Titles are written by AI from those posts and can be wrong. Nothing here is an official source.
What do corroborated and confirmed mean?
Corroborated means two or more independent sources agree; confirmed is the strongest state, for example an authority's own record. A state says how well sourced a report is, not how true it is.
How often is this page updated?
The counts are worked out again from the stored reports every few minutes. The page says when it was built and the time of the newest report it holds; a long gap means the intake may be delayed.
