Conflict Gauge: Iran, W10, 28 Feb to 7 Mar, 8 days

Archive edition, built October 2026 on the record as held. Data as of 26 Oct 2026.

Events recorded: 9,689, in the first weekly edition of the record.

• Escalation days: not assessed this week.

• Busiest theatre: Israel, 4,229 events.

• Suez: 42.1 transits a day, against a median of 42.0 over the 27 days of record before it. Transits are the daily count of container ships, bulk carriers, general cargo ships, ro-ro ships and tankers, with no size threshold, tracked by satellite as they cross the chokepoint, each ship counted once per crossing (IMF PortWatch); Lloyd's List counts only cargo vessels over 10,000 dwt, so its figures differ.
