  • Amend the headline to either name the party responsible for the strike, if that information is available, or to include an explicit caveat that the responsible party is unknown or unconfirmed. A faithful example of an amended headline would be: 'Iranian Ship Struck Near Strait of Hormuz, Killing One; Attacker Unidentified, Iranian Media Report.'
  • Replace the phrase 'Killing One' in the headline with wording that acknowledges the human death with greater specificity, for example by identifying the victim's nationality or role if known, or at minimum by using 'Killing One Person' to restore basic human reference.
