We do not republish articles from Daily Mirror. Our findings are below, each quoting the words it is about. Read the full article on the outlet's own site.
The Mirror's headline puts 'prepare for war resuming' in quotation marks, but nobody in the article said those words, and the headline drops the word 'possibility' that the quoted source used. In its own voice the Mirror says the US military 'shut down' the reports, when CENTCOM only called them 'mere speculation' and Kan's report cited an American official.
Headline goes beyond the article
Serious
“'prepare for war resuming'”
Why this matters
The headline puts 'prepare for war resuming' in quotation marks as if it were the message reported. No one in the article uses these words, and they drop the word 'possibility'.
The impression it gives
The reported message was a flat instruction to get ready for war to restart.
The context
The Kan 11 source quoted in the article speaks of preparing "for the possibility of renewed war in Iran soon", and the body says the reports concern "the possibility of more fighting".
How we know
Elsewhere in the article“prepare for the possibility of renewed war in Iran soon”
Elsewhere in the article“the possibility of more fighting with Iran”
US military calls reports it told Israel to prepare for possible renewed war with Iran 'mere speculation', as pro-IRGC media claim, without confirmation, that Iran fired missiles at US ships.
Uses a loaded word
Minor
“has shut down claims”
Why this matters
The Mirror says in its own voice that the US military 'shut down' the claims. This presents a denial as if it settled the matter.
The impression it gives
The reports of a CENTCOM warning have been disproved.
The context
CENTCOM only called the reports "mere speculation". Kan's report cited an American official, and the article gives nothing that refutes it.
How we know
