Iran Conflict Events: Monthly and Yearly Aggregated Incident Counts

ACLED provides weekly aggregated counts of political violence, civilian-targeting, and demonstrations in Iran. This dataset organizes reported incidents into country-year and country-month summaries to track conflict trends over time.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in 'political violence' counts across different years
• Comparing the frequency of 'demonstration events' versus 'civilian-targeting' incidents per month
• Correlating 'total reported events' with external socio-political triggers in Iran

Strengths

• Weekly update frequency
• Standardized event categories including political violence and civilian-targeting
• Expert-curated data from the Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project (ACLED)

Limitations

• Aggregated format prevents analysis of specific daily incidents
• Full event-level details are restricted and require external registration
