Question 1

What does "eliminated" mean on the Iran leadership tracker?

Accepted Answer

Eliminated means sustained public reporting plus editor review that the figure is no longer in the tracked role in the usual way — often reported killed in strikes. The board also tracks regional axis rows (Iraq PMF, Syria, PIJ, etc.) in the same status system. It is not a legal finding, not a complete order of battle, and not real-time operational intelligence.

Question 2

What is the news mention line under each name?

Accepted Answer

It measures how much recent coverage in this site's news stream mentions that person. It is an attention signal only: it is not proof of life, death, employment, or location. Similar names and noisy headlines happen; use the sample links to read the underlying stories.

Question 3

Does the board update automatically?

Accepted Answer

Some roster changes can be applied automatically when corroborated public reporting meets the site's rules; others require a higher bar or manual editor action. The board also shows a stamped editorial data time — breaking news can still take time to verify.
