  • Amend the headline to place the agent of military action in a principal clause rather than a subordinate conditional, for example: 'US strikes on Iran prompt warning that global economy will pay price', or equivalent wording that accurately reflects the article's own content.
  • Amend the sentence containing 'the strikes will target Iran's energy infrastructure' to name the alleged agent explicitly within that clause, not only in surrounding attribution.
