Trump's Iran rhetoric escalates toward ultimatum, but the war math doesn't quite add up

A 24-hour public deadline to declare Hormuz open has been delivered; Iran's parliament says it doesn't trust Washington, the aircraft change out of Ankara tells its own story, and the timeline doesn't match the math.

Desk note: Monexus is reading the 8 July rhetoric as ultimatum-language, not as a confirmed battlefield assessment. The Strait-attack claim, the proxy-attribution claim, and the regime-decision claim have each been reported and none has been independently OSINT-confirmed in the public record; we report the claims and the uncertainty in the same paragraph.
