Desk note: Monexus led with Velayati's Telegram statements as primary sourced material because the distribution itself was the event. Western wire had no parallel dispatch at time of filing. Iranian state-adjacent framing is contextualised against publicly known dependency on Hormuz traffic; no claim about US naval readiness is presented as fact.
