Desk note: Monexus framed the German statement as the confidence vote and the Trump posture as the ultimatum clock because they were issued within a single diplomatic window on Wednesday evening. German coverage relied on Iranian-adjacent channels for the immediate text; we flagged that provenance rather than smooth it over, and we treated the Western-wire aggregators (OSINTtechnical, Clash Report) as the path to the underlying Axios and Reuters reporting.
