Desk note: Where wire copy emphasised the warm symbolism of the signing, Monexus has leaned on the unsexy verification mechanics, sequencing of sanctions waivers, and the contractor risk around the $300bn fund. Coverage draws on both Western wire reporting and Iranian state-media confirmation of the text, weighted toward the Western wire for primary framing.
