Source base: Research, media, industry, and specialist current-event source families listed in this register; LIVE-NEWS source audit tracker.

Analytic confidence: Moderate for source-family routing. Individual claims require product-level date, attribution, source grading, and corroboration against official or primary-source material where available.

Research and media sources are useful for current-event awareness, conflict timelines, and outside analytic perspectives. They should be separated from official-source baselines and graded explicitly.

Strategy And Warfare Academic Research Source Families, 2026-06-18

  • Source class: B for peer-reviewed or institutionally edited research; B/C for professional-military commentary and timely think-tank analysis depending on method, sourcing, author role, and publication type.

  • Use: Strategic theory, deterrence, coercion, stratagems as a historical and analytic concept, deception and surprise research, gray-zone and irregular warfare studies, military innovation, mobilization, defense economics, civil-military relations, professional-military debate, and source discovery for article-level capture.
  • Reliability note: Use this family for concept mapping and literature routing, not direct prescription. Preserve author, date, publisher, institutional affiliation, method, evidence base, and caveats. Treat professional-military and think-tank publications as public expert debate unless an official source separately establishes policy or doctrine. Do not convert conceptual discussion into target selection, operational planning, tactical procedures, deception plans, weapons employment, cyber methods, evasion techniques, procurement advice, or vulnerability analysis.

  • Use: Current-event awareness, live observation, institutional proceedings discovery, and follow-on source collection. LIVE-NEWS is a link-out navigation surface only; it does not host, rebroadcast, or embed streams.
  • Reliability note: Live streams are provisional observation sources. Preserve provider, program/body, UTC timestamp, and observed claim, then corroborate with a stable archive, transcript, meeting record, official release, legal text, or dated article before treating the observation as a durable corpus claim. Treat state-backed channels as issuer-perspective media. Treat executive-office live pages as official but volatile; verify event title and follow with archived White House video, remarks, transcript, fact sheet, or release before citing. PBS News live and C-SPAN remain useful candidate or event-level sources but are not on the public card grid because current checks found sponsor/support surfaces or provider-authentication friction. Treat LiveNOW from FOX as a commercial current-event awareness lane, not an official government or public-broadcaster source; preserve timestamp, segment title, URL, and follow with official documents or stable reporting before assimilating claims. Use the LIVE-NEWS Source Audit Tracker to maintain public-card status, reviewed candidates, and future live-source additions.

LIVE-NEWS Reviewed Candidate Queue, 2026-06-18

  • Source class: Candidate B/C depending on issuer, access route, and use.
  • Candidate publishers/routes: Reuters video/live routes; AP video/live routes; BBC News live route; PBS NewsHour Live; C-SPAN event-level pages; Al Jazeera English Live; Fox Weather; Senate committee or event-level live routes.
  • Use: Future live-source review queue. These sources can support current-event awareness, public-affairs discovery, or follow-on source collection only after official route, free access, ad/paywall friction, and source-treatment status are checked.
  • Reliability note: Candidate status is not public-card approval. Keep candidates in documentation until a clean official route is verified. Do not assimilate claims from a live candidate without timestamp, provider, event title, URL, and stable corroboration.

Reported U.S.-Iran MOU Current-Event Reporting, 2026-06-17/18

  • Source class: C
  • Publishers: Axios; Bloomberg source family; The Guardian; Financial Times; MarketWatch; Times of India; New York Post.
  • Publication date: 2026-06-17/18.
  • Accessed UTC: 2026-06-18T10:09:45Z

  • https://nypost.com/2026/06/17/us-news/complete-14-point-us-iran-peace-deal-finally-revealed-by-trump-administration-read-text-in-full/
  • Use: Current-event reporting source family for the reported U.S.-Iran MOU, including reported ceasefire, Strait of Hormuz, sanctions waiver, oil-export, frozen-asset, nuclear/IAEA, Lebanon/Hezbollah, signing/status, and negotiation-window claims. Axios provides a transcript-style text attributed to a senior administration official's briefing readout. Guardian live reporting says Trump and Pezeshkian signed the MOU, Iranian state media released text largely tracking the U.S. readout, Pakistan's mediator statement said the agreement took immediate effect, and Washington still had not formally released the text. MarketWatch/JPMorgan reporting says the MOU was published by Bloomberg and other news outlets, making Bloomberg an apparent priority capture target.
  • Reliability note: Use only as reported or transcript-reporting context until official U.S., Iranian, IAEA, UN, Treasury/OFAC, mediator, or directly captured Bloomberg text is available. Bloomberg direct access was blocked in this environment; the 2026-06-18T10:25Z implementation-gap capture did not locate official White House, State, Treasury/OFAC, Federal Register, IAEA/UN, IMO, directly captured Iranian-government, or directly captured mediator text; live pages require timestamped or archived follow-on capture before precise claims.

Institute For The Study Of War

  • Source class: B
  • Publisher: Institute for the Study of War
  • Use: Conflict updates, especially Ukraine, Russia, Iran, and related military-political analysis.
  • Reliability note: Specialist conflict monitor with transparent products. Should be cross-checked for major claims.

Reuters

  • Source class: C
  • Publisher: Reuters
  • Use: Current-event reporting and official-statement tracking.
  • Reliability note: Strong professional reporting baseline; individual claims still require date, attribution, and corroboration.

Allianz Commercial Safety And Shipping Review 2025

  • Source class: B
  • Publisher: Allianz Commercial
  • Publication date: May 2025
  • Accessed UTC: 2026-06-13T02:58:21Z
  • URL: https://commercial.allianz.com/news-and-insights/reports/shipping-safety.html
  • Use: Industry source for marine insurance, shipping-loss trends, geopolitical risk, war-cover pressure, high-risk transit premiums, claims exposure, and commercial maritime risk.
  • Reliability note: Specialist insurance-industry source with useful data and risk framing. It is not official government analysis and can reflect commercial market perspective.

Arms Control Association New START At A Glance

  • Source class: B
  • Publisher: Arms Control Association
  • Publication date: Last reviewed April 2026
  • Accessed UTC: 2026-06-13T03:16:36Z
  • URL: https://www.armscontrol.org/factsheets/new-start-glance
  • Use: Research source for New START treaty history, central limits, verification provisions, Russian suspension, 2026 expiration, and post-expiration arms-control context. Used as a Class B synthesis source in the Russia strategic weapons and nuclear signaling packet.
  • Reliability note: Specialist arms-control research source with clear sourcing and useful synthesis. It is not an official government source and should be cross-read with treaty texts, State, DoD, NATO, UN, CRS, and other official materials for major judgments.

Axios New START Post-Expiration Reporting, 2026-02-05

  • Source class: C
  • Publisher: Axios
  • Publication date: 2026-02-05
  • Accessed UTC: 2026-06-18T03:11:36Z
  • URL: https://www.axios.com/2026/02/05/new-start-arms-control-us-russia-extend
  • Use: Current-event reporting source for informal U.S.-Russia post-expiration New START observance talks, reported good-faith or spirit-of-New-START restraint, and China/successor-framework framing.
  • Reliability note: Use as reported context only. It is not a formal legal extension, not official treaty text, and not direct evidence of current force levels, inspections, data exchanges, or verification continuity.

The Guardian Ukraine War Briefing, 2026-06-04

  • Source class: C
  • Publisher: The Guardian
  • Publication date: 2026-06-04
  • Accessed UTC: 2026-06-12T23:20:35Z
  • URL: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jun/04/ukraine-war-briefing-russia-losing-on-the-ground-so-pivots-to-air-war-say-analysts
  • Use: Current battlefield reporting that summarizes Reuters, ISW, Black Bird Group, and DeepState claims about Russia's May 2026 territorial gains and strike patterns.
  • Reliability note: Useful for current context but not an official source. Treat as secondary until underlying reports are directly collected.
