What Is Going On

This site exists because the Iran conflict is genuinely complicated — and most coverage is written for audiences that already know the background, filtered through editorial angles that may or may not align with yours.

Every morning at 6AM AEDT, an AI (Claude, by Anthropic) researches the latest developments across multiple international news sources, synthesises them into plain language, and publishes a fresh digest here. No human editor chooses what to emphasise — the brief is generated fresh from the current news landscape.

The Australian angle matters because Australia has a stake in regional stability, energy prices, and allied relationships that differs from the US or UK perspective. We try to surface that relevance explicitly.

Sources consulted daily: Reuters, Associated Press, BBC World Service, Al Jazeera English, The Guardian, ABC Australia, The Australian Financial Review, and various verified government and think-tank publications.

What this site is not: It is not affiliated with any government, political party, religious organisation, or news outlet. It does not take a position on who is "right." It reports verifiable facts and labels speculation as such.

Built and maintained by an Australian who got tired of having to visit twelve tabs to understand what was happening.
