US and Iran trade air strikes for a second day, diplomacy on a knife's edge

Tehran and Washington spent Saturday exchanging satellite imagery of damaged Gulf bases and contradictory statements about whether a deal will be signed on Sunday, while mediators in Doha worked the phones and protesters in Tehran demanded the resignations of the negotiators themselves.

Desk note: Monexus framed this as a compressed-deadline coercion cycle, because the strikes and the public ultimatum are running in parallel rather than sequentially. The piece separates what the Iranian-aligned imagery claims from what independently verifiable commercial-satellite providers have confirmed, and treats Tehran's street protests as a domestic constraint on the negotiating team, not as background colour.
