Grammarly's AI-fueled edits -- using my name - suggested making up sources and writing vague insinuations.

Oman warns Iran is "not the only target" in a plan to "reshape the region" Iran has threatened to set oil and gas infrastructure in the Middle East β€œon fire” if its energy sites are attacked. Follow live updates.
