Desk note: Monexus reported the Qeshm incident from the wire record available on 7 May 2026 and declined to attribute the attack to any party in the absence of confirmed sourcing. Where Israeli and Gulf-state channels offered their own framings, those were carried as counter-claims with explicit sourcing rather than absorbed into the lead.
