What is ClearView?

ClearView is a geopolitical intelligence platform that monitors the US-Israeli war on Iran across 36 news sources from every major perspective — Western wire services, Israeli media, Iranian state outlets, Gulf press, regional independents, think tanks, and OSINT analysts.

The goal is simple: cut through the noise. When 36 outlets report the same event with 36 different spins, ClearView finds what actually happened, who's framing it and how, and what's being left out.

How It Works

Collect

RSS feeds from 36 sources are polled every 15 minutes. Articles are stored with their source, category, and known editorial bias. Nothing is filtered out — propaganda and OSINT sit side by side in the same database.

Analyze

Periodically, all collected articles are run through a structured analysis protocol. Events are clustered, cross-referenced across sources, and scored by confidence level. A story reported by AP, Reuters, and Al Jazeera is treated differently than one only Press TV is running.

Compare

Each analysis is compared against previous ones. Are narratives shifting? Did unconfirmed claims get confirmed or debunked? Is the situation escalating or de-escalating? The trajectory section tracks these patterns over time.

Challenge

Every briefing includes steelman arguments (the strongest case each side can make) and strawman alerts (bad arguments circulating from any side). The goal isn't balance for balance's sake — it's intellectual honesty. If the evidence points one way, the analysis says so.

Source Categories

wireWire Services — AP, Reuters, AFP. Highest factual reliability. The baseline.

westernWestern Media — BBC, NYT, CNN, Guardian, France 24, DW. Generally reliable on facts, may frame through Western policy lens.

israeliIsraeli Media — Haaretz, Jerusalem Post, Times of Israel. Reliable on Israeli actions. Haaretz more critical, JPost more hawkish.

gulfGulf Media — Arab News, The National, TRT World. Reflect Saudi/UAE/Turkish government positions.

russianRussian State Media — RT, TASS. Government-controlled. Useful for understanding Russia's positioning.

asianAsian Media — NDTV, SCMP, Xinhua. Outside the Western/Middle Eastern framing. Offers a different angle.

thinktankThink Tanks — Brookings, Carnegie, CSIS, CFR, IISS. Slower, deeper analysis. Policy implications.

defenseDefense/OSINT — Bellingcat, Janes, Defense One, War on the Rocks, The War Zone. Investigative, verification-focused.

What ClearView Is Not

Not a news aggregator. You can get headlines anywhere. ClearView tells you what the headlines mean, who's spinning them, and what's missing.
Not neutral. Neutral means treating all claims as equal. ClearView weighs evidence. When 8 sources confirm something and 1 denies it, the analysis reflects that.
Not automated. The article collection is automated. The analysis is AI-assisted but reviewed — it follows a detailed protocol designed to catch bias, propaganda, and gaps.

Confidence Levels

HIGH 5+ sources across 2+ categories. Almost certainly happened.

MEDIUM 3-4 sources, or same category only. Likely happened, details may vary.

LOW 1-2 sources. Unconfirmed. Note who is and isn't reporting.
