Desk note: This article treats Iranian state-aligned and pro-Iranian regional sources as primary on visible facts (crowds, logistics, official statements) and as counter-claim material on intent and political meaning, where Western wire corroboration is currently thin. Monexus will update as New York Times and other wire reporting fills in the picture.
