The ceasefire that wasn't: how the US-Iran 'understanding' collapsed in 24 hours
A 24-hour ceasefire collapsed into a third round of CENTCOM strikes, IRGC retaliation threats and Iran's declared closure of the Strait of Hormuz, exposing the Islamabad framework as a countdown rather than a deal.

Desk note: Monexus led with the CENTCOM statement and the IRGC counter-statement in parallel, treating the Strait of Hormuz closure as Iran's claim and the explosion reports in Bandar Abbas and Bushehr as still being verified. Where mainstream wires had not yet corroborated, the article flags the gap rather than smoothing it over.
