Desk note: Monexus frames the Ali Al Salem and Sheikh Isa strikes not as an isolated Iranian missile event but as a widening of the regional battlespace onto a U.S.-partner third country. The structural read, that each ring of escalation costs the incumbent order more than the challenger, is the one the wire cycle has so far underplayed.
