USvsIran.com is now Bamqam, a live open-source map that gathers military, safety, flight, ship, satellite, and infrastructure data in one place.
What is USvsIran.com now?
The old USvsIran.com address redirects visitors to Bamqam, which describes itself as a dashboard made by Nehemia Gershuni-Aylho.
Its legal pages confirm that Bamqam is the new name for the former USvsIran.com platform (Bamqam Terms of Use).
The new name matters because the service is no longer framed as a simple contest between two nations.
It now looks more like a broad operations map for several conflict zones and security risks.
The website opens with a large map and a dense control panel.
Visitors can turn map layers on and off to study airports, ports, energy sites, military sites, national borders, air routes, sea lanes, fires, and GPS interference.
What information does the map show?
The dashboard lists 35 US bases, 18 US Navy ships, two Marine Corps force locations, 18 Iranian nuclear sites, 52 missile sites, 29 air bases, and other fixed places (Bamqam live dashboard).
These numbers describe items in the site’s database, so they should not be read as a full count of active forces.
Some moving objects come from ADS-B aircraft signals and AIS ship signals.
Other layers cover satellites, natural disasters, maritime warnings, fires, and notices to pilots.
The site also presents alerts from Israel’s Home Front Command, Gulf civil-defense reporting, and the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations service.
A time machine lets visitors review earlier map activity instead of seeing only the latest screen.
This mix is the site’s strongest feature because users can compare several kinds of evidence without opening many separate tools.
Is the information really live?
Some feeds are live or close to live, but “live” does not mean complete.
Military aircraft can hide their public tracking signals.
Ships can switch off AIS, report a false location, or appear late.
Satellites pass over an area only at set times.
A fire point can show heat without proving what caused it.
The dashboard sometimes displays zero aircraft, ships, or satellites even while its labels mention active feeds, which may mean that no matching object is visible or that a feed is delayed.
For this reason, the map is best treated as a clue finder and not as a final record.
A good user checks an important point against an official notice, trusted news report, satellite image, or another independent tracker.
An outside guide describes the platform as an OSINT dashboard that combines several signals for conflict monitoring, while also placing it among many tools that researchers should use together (Erkan’s Field Diary).
Who is this website useful for?
The map can help journalists find events that need more checking.
It can help researchers see where military, energy, and transport systems sit near one another.
It can help shipping and aviation watchers notice route changes, warning areas, or unusual movement.
It can also help regular readers understand distance and location better than a stream of short social-media posts.
The service is less suitable for people who want a simple news page with a clear written account of each event.
Its many switches, symbols, rings, and moving markers can overwhelm a new visitor.
A short guide explaining each source, update speed, confidence level, and known blind spot would make the dashboard much easier to trust.
Can the map prove that an attack happened?
No single mark on this map can prove an attack, target, loss, or military plan.
A plane moving toward a region may be on a normal support flight.
A ship near a danger zone may only be passing through it.
A fire may come from industry, farming, weather, or war.
A fixed missile-site marker may come from older public research and may not show the site’s present condition.
The platform would be stronger if every marker showed its source date, last check, confidence grade, and history of changes.
Without those details, a polished map can make weak information feel more certain than it is.
What should users know about privacy and reuse?
People can view much of the map without an account, while registered users may submit reports or profile details.
The privacy policy says the service may collect email addresses, profile data, IP addresses, device details, visited pages, access times, referral sources, and an approximate location (Bamqam Privacy Policy).
It says account data is stored through Supabase and that public contributions may remain available after an account is deleted.
Users should therefore avoid posting private details, exact personal locations, or material that could place another person in danger.
The site’s terms limit use to personal, non-commercial, informational, and entertainment purposes.
They also prohibit commercial screenshots, embedding, redistribution, or resale without written permission.
A newsroom, paid researcher, or business should contact the operator before placing dashboard images in a product or publication.
What is the final verdict?
USvsIran.com has grown into a useful visual hub that can reveal patterns across many public data feeds.
Its greatest value is speed, context, and the ability to compare air, sea, land, safety, and infrastructure signals on one map.
Its greatest risk is false confidence because missing signals, old locations, uncertain reports, and feed failures can look authoritative on a detailed screen.
