Desk note: Monexus published this as a restraint-first staff piece. The wire-shaped version of this story would have led with "fighter jets scramble over the Gulf" and cited the two Telegram channels as confirmation. We did not have that confirmation. We named the channels, attributed the wording, and flagged every unknown.
