Desk note: Monexus has framed this piece around the choreography of the ceremony, drawing on Fars's overnight Telegram feed as the primary visual and rhetorical record. Western wires, when their reporting lands, will be added to the citation ledger; the structural argument advanced here does not depend on a specific casualty figure or a specific cause of death, both of which remain to be corroborated.
