A note from the desk: This piece was compiled against a terminal thread of 40 items across 20 Telegram channels — Iranian, resistance-aligned, Russian, Western OSINT — and cross-checked against Al Jazeera English, CNN, the UN Secretary-General's office, and the International Crisis Group. Where Pentagon numbers could not be independently verified, they are labelled as CENTCOM claims rather than facts. Where Iranian state-media claims could not be verified, they are likewise labelled. The sourcing asymmetry analysis is doing explicit analytical work here; it is not decorative. Readers who want to push back on the framing are invited to do so at the email on our masthead. — M.M.P.
