Tehran's Skies on Fire: What the Air Defense Footage Tells Us

Cross-platform footage of air defence activity over Tehran on May 7 has coincided with a US Navy strike on the tanker Sevda running an American blockade on Iran, sharpening the question of whether Israel's campaign is about to widen into Iranian airspace.

Desk note: Monexus is treating Iranian state media claims about the Minab strike as Iranian state-media claims, not as corroborated fact, while giving the CENTCOM tanker account the visual corroboration of open-source footage rather than relying on Pentagon language alone. The Tehran air defence footage is reported as a cross-platform distribution pattern, not as a confirmed sequence of events.
