Who we are

Intelligence built from the ground up

Tactical Report is an independent intelligence company covering defense, politics, and energy across the Gulf and the wider Middle East and North Africa. For more than 25 years, our reporters and analysts have worked close to the institutions that shape the region.

Where most commercial coverage relies on secondary reporting, we rely first on human sources (HUMINT), checked against open sources (OSINT). Everything is cross-checked before it is published.
