Desk note: Monexus has led with Western-wire and Lebanese-source reporting on the civilian consequences of the campaign, treated the Iranian state broadcaster's framing as primary-source humanitarian material rather than as a counter-narrative, and placed the Rybar footage inside an explicit verification caveat. The Trump G7 remark has been reported with attribution to Sprinter Press via Middle East Eye reporting on the Adelson-tied paper, with a flagged absence of independent Western-wire corroboration in the available window.
