Desk note: Monexus has handled this story under its first-hour-of-strike protocol: every operational claim is flagged as unconfirmed, Iranian state statements are treated as Iranian state statements, and no Western government line has yet been treated as authoritative. We will update with confirmed casualty figures, target packages and market reaction as wire confirmation permits.
