Desk note: Monexus frames the LA friendly as a federation-staged framing exercise rather than a routine friendly, distinguishing on-pitch reporting from the choreographed commemorative layer that Iranian state-linked wires emphasised. Where wire agencies treated the game as standard pre-tournament prep, our read treats the ceremony as the fixture's actual event.
