Desk note: Monexus treated the two BRICS News bulletins on the Trump-Putin call as a single event and cross-checked Trump's Israel boast against the second bulletin before writing. The Iranian-side claims are sourced to Iranian state media with explicit caveat, per house sourcing rules, and corroborated where possible against the Washington Post paraphrase carried by Al-Alam and the @sprinterpress account.
