Active wildfire cluster in IR (96 detections)

Summary

Single-source satellite detection — awaiting independent verification. VIIRS-SNPP satellite sensors identified 96 high-confidence wildfire pixels across Iran on April 24, 2026, with activity centered around coordinates 32.39°N, 49.00°E in what appears to be a significant wildfire cluster event.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates and whether the fires spread to critical infrastructure or industrial areas.

Watch points

• Monitor for independent confirmation from Iranian authorities or international fire monitoring agencies
• Track potential expansion of fire activity toward populated areas or industrial zones that could affect regional supply networks
