OIFI Databook

1 min read Original article ↗

The OIFI Databook is a structured reference for understanding who holds power in Iran, how they got there, and who they answer to. Every person, organization, and event is entered as its own record, with bilingual names (English and Persian) and cited sources.

Records are linked by typed relationships — appointed by, served in, subsidiary of, allied with, and more — each tagged with a confidence level so you can see the difference between confirmed ties and alleged ones.

The result is a navigable network: start from a name and trace the chain of influence outward, one or two or three degrees at a time.
