Hamas Names Senior Commander Killed in May 26 Strike as Verification Gaps Cloud Tehran-Angle Reporting

Desk note. Monexus ran this story as a sourcing audit rather than as a confirmation. The wire record on 27 May supports the existence of the Iranian-aligned announcements; it does not support the underlying claim as a flat fact. We have separated the two and said so.
