From August 1 through September 15, 2026, ONYX has produced 73 article pack files covering the most significant news events of the period. In the Iran ceasefire arc alone — 39 days from August 7 through September 15 — ONYX has documented:
▸ Every day of the ceasefire framework from signing to the current 21-day countdown
▸ 18 US service members by name and rank where available
▸ Amir Ali Karimi, 4, and Mohammad Malahi, 16, in every footer since September 4
▸ The Hormuz commercial transit framework and every challenge to it
▸ Both oil chokepoints compromised simultaneously for the first time in modern oil market history
▸ The IRGC’s Yemen condition, stated for the first time publicly
▸ Session 3 from its 38 days as UNKNOWN to its announcement in Muscat
▸ The five failure modes, updated daily
THE STANDARD
ONYX’s standard throughout the arc: independent analysis without institutional affiliation; neutral coverage without editorial characterization of policy as good or bad; factual documentation at the specific level of what is confirmed and what is not. The standard was applied to Trump’s statements and Iran’s statements and the IRGC’s and the Houthis’ and the US military’s with equal evidentiary precision.
THE ACCOUNTABILITY JOURNALISM
▸ Lutnick’s false ‘no Americans dead’ claim — covered September 9, same day as the correction
▸ DoD removal of 4 deaths from its website in July — covered September 9
▸ Libby Klinner benefits denial — covered September 9
▸ Kuhestak investigation from ‘No Investigation’ to ‘Announced’ — tracked daily
▸ Miami crash whistleblower — from Karl Seuring’s firing to the cockpit voice recorder to Amazon’s pause
▸ Pennsylvania measles: first death, second death, third death
▸ HHS vaccine program defunding and its specific consequences
▸ The Evanston reparations program and the DOJ’s suppression effort
THE ARC CONTINUES
21 days to October 6. Session 3 is announced but not scheduled. The five workers from the Miami crash van have not been officially named. The Kuhestak investigation has no body or timeline. The IRGC’s Yemen condition is unaddressed. The midterms are 49 days away.
ONYX covers what is. Not what should be. Not what officials say it is. What the documented, sourced, confirmed record shows it to be. The arc continues with the next day’s documentation.
The arc does not end here. It continues with the next day’s stories, the next day’s accountability, the next day’s names in the footer. 39 days documented. 21 days to October 6. The ceasefire may extend, expire, or collapse. ONYX will cover which one it does, the same way it has covered the 39 days before.
