Showcase 2
Two weeks in a row above Iraq's own baseline.
Events located in Iraq: 22 in the week of 14 Sep, then 33 and 36 in the two weeks from 21 Sep, each above Iraq's own recent range (z 3.6, 2.2).
While the disarmament deadline led the coverage, the event record in Iraq climbed two weeks running.
What the coverage showed
The National (22 September 2026) covered Iraq through the militia disarmament deadline, moved to June 2027.
The figure
Iraq-located events: 33 and 36 a week from 21 Sep to 4 Oct (z 3.6, 2.2), after 22 in the week of 14 Sep.
A per-location reading against its own recent weeks, not the calibrated escalation measure; weekly counts in Iraq are small.
