Question 1

Is there a live map of all the wars in the world?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This is an interactive world conflict map and global conflict tracker showing 29 active armed conflicts in real time, each with a plain-language briefing. You can filter by region and intensity and open an intelligence profile for any conflict, from Iran and Ukraine to Gaza, Sudan and the Sahel.

Question 2

Is there a war between Iran and Israel in 2026?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The Iran–Israel confrontation is an active armed conflict tracked on this dashboard, covering direct strikes, proxy engagements, and regional escalation. See the Iran–Israel war briefing for actors, timeline, casualty estimates, and status drawn from ACLED, UCDP, and the CFR Global Conflict Tracker.

Question 3

How many armed conflicts are active worldwide right now?

Accepted Answer

This dashboard tracks 29 active armed conflict theaters worldwide, including the Iran–Israel war, the war in Ukraine, Gaza, Sudan, Myanmar, and the Sahel. Each is classified by intensity, status, key actors, and estimated fatalities.

Question 4

Where does the conflict data come from?

Accepted Answer

Data is aggregated from ACLED (Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project), UCDP (Uppsala Conflict Data Program), and the CFR Global Conflict Tracker. This site is a secondary aggregation; figures are approximate and should be independently verified for high-stakes use.

Question 5

What is the difference between ACLED, UCDP, and CFR?

Accepted Answer

ACLED is event-based and near real-time (the individual geolocated event, no fatality threshold). UCDP is conflict-centric and historical (the conflict dyad, at least 25 battle-related deaths per year, annual updates). The CFR Global Conflict Tracker is strategic and qualitative with plain-language briefings. This dashboard unifies all three around the conflict theater. See the full ACLED vs UCDP vs CFR comparison.
