Purpose
WAR.DIRECT is a non-commercial, public-interest information tool built during a time of active conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States. It was co-created by Rishi Khiani and Claude (by Anthropic) with a single goal: to make real-time conflict information freely accessible to everyone — especially those directly affected.
We believe that in times of crisis, information should be available to all, not locked behind paywalls or scattered across dozens of sources. This platform exists to aggregate, organize, and present publicly available data in a way that is genuinely useful.
Non-Commercial Use
This platform is provided entirely free of charge. We do not run advertisements, collect user data for commercial purposes, or seek to profit from this project in any way. There are no subscriptions, premium tiers, or monetization mechanisms of any kind.
Content Sources
All content on this platform is aggregated from publicly available sources, including but not limited to:
- Live TV streams sourced from publicly accessible HLS endpoints and open-source repositories on GitHub
- News articles pulled via public RSS feeds from major international news organizations
- Flight data from publicly available aviation tracking APIs
- Social media dispatches from public Reddit posts and discussions
- Strike/attack data extracted and verified from published news reports
We do not claim ownership of any third-party content. All news articles link back to their original sources. TV streams are publicly broadcast and freely available online.
Helplines & Emergency Information
We have made every reasonable effort to accurately compile emergency helplines, embassy contacts, airline numbers, and hospital information across affected regions. This includes verified contact details for Indian embassies and high commissions in the Middle East.
However, phone numbers and services may change without notice. Always verify critical emergency information through official government and embassy websites. In a life-threatening emergency, contact local emergency services immediately.
Accuracy & Limitations
We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, reliability, or timeliness of any information presented on this platform. Conflict situations are inherently chaotic and fast-moving — information can become outdated within minutes.
The battlespace map, strike data, and AI-extracted intelligence are provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon for personal safety decisions. AI-powered extraction may occasionally produce inaccurate results.
We expressly disclaim all liability for any loss, injury, or damage arising from the use of or reliance on information provided on this platform.
Intellectual Property
The WAR.DIRECT platform code, design, and original content are provided under the spirit of open access. Third-party content (news articles, TV streams, flight data) remains the property of their respective owners and is used here under fair use for public-interest, non-commercial, informational purposes.
If you are a content owner and believe your material is being used inappropriately, please reach out via the Forum and we will address it promptly.

We actively welcome corrections, updates, and suggestions from users. If you have updated helpline numbers, spot an inaccuracy, or want to suggest a feature — please post in the Forum on the site.
This is a community resource. The more people contribute, the more useful it becomes for everyone.
