About this analysis

Haaretz carries a short Reuters report that President Donald Trump has told senior advisers he may hold off on attacking Iran if the United States faces no new provocations from Tehran or the Houthis in Yemen. The text supplied is one sentence of reporting surrounded by page navigation. It attributes the claim to three people familiar with the matter. Nothing in it misleads the reader.

What it gets right

“according to three people familiar with the matter”
Haaretz keeps the Reuters attribution. The reader knows the account of Trump's private remarks comes from unnamed sources and is not established fact.
“Sources Say”
The headline keeps the attribution the body gives. It does not present Trump's reported intention as a confirmed decision.
