Iran
Monitor
A real-time, open-source crisis monitoring platform built by the Iranian diaspora to track, document, and amplify events inside Iran.
for Iran
We believe access to accurate, real-time information is a fundamental right — especially during times of crisis.
Iran's information ecosystem is fractured. State media controls the narrative, internet shutdowns silence citizens, and the international community struggles to get reliable data. IranMonitor bridges this gap by aggregating, verifying, and presenting information from multiple sources in real-time.
What IranMonitor Includes
Memorial Hub
A living memorial documenting every verified victim — their names, stories, and the circumstances of their deaths. Because every life matters.
Global Solidarity Map
Real-time mapping of protests and demonstrations worldwide, helping diaspora communities find and organize solidarity events.
Action Center
Curated petitions, campaigns, and concrete actions you can take to support the movement from anywhere in the world.
How IranMonitor Works
Our platform uses a combination of automated data collection, AI-assisted processing, and community feedback to provide the most accurate picture possible.
Automated Gathering
Continuous monitoring of 50+ news sources, social media platforms, and official channels in both Farsi and English.
AI-Assisted Processing
Natural language processing categorizes events, detects sentiment, and identifies geographic patterns across sources.
Community Feedback
Our Telegram community helps verify information, report inaccuracies, and contribute local knowledge.
Who Is Behind IranMonitor
IranMonitor was created by members of the Iranian diaspora who felt the urgent need for a centralized, reliable source of information during the ongoing crisis.
We are a small team of volunteers — engineers, designers, and journalists — who donate our time and skills. We have no political affiliation and no funding from any government or organization.
Transparency & Running Costs
IranMonitor runs on minimal infrastructure to keep costs low and sustainability high. Here's what it costs to keep the lights on:
- Vercel Pro hosting: ~$20/month
- Supabase database: ~$25/month
- API costs (news, social, AI): ~$50/month
Donations
All donations go directly toward infrastructure costs. We don't pay salaries — everyone involved is a volunteer.
If you'd like to support the project, you can donate through the button in the header. Every dollar helps keep this platform running.
Privacy & Safety
We take the safety of our users extremely seriously. We do not collect personal data, we do not use analytics trackers, and we do not store IP addresses. The platform is designed to be safe to access from inside Iran.
If you are inside Iran, please use a VPN when accessing this site. Your safety is our priority.

We're constantly working to improve IranMonitor. Here's what's coming next:
Farsi Language Support
