Desk note: Monexus is treating Iranian state media claims about the Minab strike as Iranian state-media claims, not as corroborated fact, while giving the CENTCOM tanker account the visual corroboration of open-source footage rather than relying on Pentagon language alone. The Tehran air defence footage is reported as a cross-platform distribution pattern, not as a confirmed sequence of events.
