- No em dashes. Use commas, periods, or semicolons. So cannot use , . Must avoid em dash characters. Use commas or periods. Also avoid en dash? Probably just avoid any dash characters. Use commas or periods. - Keep sentences short. Average 15-20 words. Max 30 words. So each sentence must be <=30 words, and overall average 15-20 words. We need to produce 500-700 words total. That's about 30-40 sentences if average 15-20 words. Must be careful. - Write like Reuters/AP wire reporter. Clipped, factual, direct. - No filler phrases listed. Must avoid them. - Use active voice. - No markdown formatting. Use ALL CAPS section labels followed by a colon. So we need to have section labels in ALL CAPS, each followed by a colon. Probably we need a title line? The instruction: "Start directly with the title on line 1 (no prefix). Blank line. Then content." So first line is the title. Then blank line, then content. Also we need to use ALL CAPS section labels followed by a colon. So within the content we need to have section labels like "STRATEGIC IMPLICATIONS:" etc? Probably we need to include section labels in all caps with colon. The instruction: "Use ALL CAPS section labels followed by a colon." So we need to have section labels in all caps, each followed by a colon. Probably we need to label sections like "LEDE:", "ANALYSIS:", "IMPLICATIONS:", "OUTLOOK:" etc. Must be all caps and followed by colon. No other formatting. - No markdown. So plain text. - Must reference only listed events. So we can only mention those events. Must not add external info. - Must not use em dashes. So cannot use , . Must avoid any dash characters. Use commas or periods. - Must keep sentences short, average 15-20 words, max 30 words. So we need to craft sentences of about 15-20 words each. Let's aim for ~18 words average. 500-700 words / ~18 = about 28-39 sentences. Let's target 35 sentences of ~18 words = 630 words. That fits. - Must not use filler phrases. So avoid "it is worth noting", etc. - Must not use "represents a significant", etc. - Must use active voice. - Must not use em dashes. So avoid any dash characters. Also avoid hyphens? Hyphens are okay? The rule says "NEVER use em dashes". Hyphens are not em dashes. So we can use hyphens? Probably okay. But better avoid any dash characters. Use commas or periods. - Must not use markdown formatting. So no headings with #, no bullet points, no bold, etc. - Must start directly with the title on line 1 (no prefix). So first line is the title. Then blank line. Then content. - Title: probably something like "GROUND OPERATIONS ANALYSIS IRAN CONFLICT". Must be all caps? Not required but likely okay. Title on line 1, no prefix. Then blank line. Then content. - Then we need to use ALL CAPS section labels followed by a colon. So after content we can have sections like "LEDE:" then the lede text? Or we can embed section labels within content. Probably we need to have sections like "LEDE:" then the lede paragraph. Then "ANALYSIS:" then analysis. Then "IMPLICATIONS:" then implications. Then "OUTLOOK:" then forward-looking paragraph. - Must keep sentences short. So each sentence <=30 words. Let's craft. We need 500-700 words total. Let's aim for about 620 words. We need to reference only listed events. So we can mention events 1-10 as needed. Use their descriptions. We must not use filler phrases. So just state facts. We must not use em dashes. So avoid any , . Also avoid any dash in "IRGC" etc? That's fine. "IRGC" is fine. "IRGC chief" etc. But we must avoid using dash characters. The phrase "IRGC chief" is fine. "IRGC chief: Enemies will never stop plotting..." but we cannot use colon? Colon is okay. The rule about ALL CAPS section labels followed by a colon is okay. But within content we can use colon? It's not a dash. So okay. But we must avoid using em dashes. So we must not use , . Also avoid using " , " in the text. So we must be careful not to include any em dash characters. Also avoid using "-" (en dash). So just use commas and periods. Now craft. First line: TITLE. Let's choose "IRAN GROUND OPERATIONS ANALYSIS". That's the title. Then blank line. Then content starts. We need to include section labels in ALL CAPS followed by colon. So maybe we start with "LEDE:" then the lede paragraph. But the lede must be a sentence? Probably we can have "LEDE: OZON EVACUATES 500 STAFF AMID DRONE STRIKE IN SAMARA REGION". That's a sentence? It ends with no period? We need a period. So "LEDE: OZON EVACUATES 500 STAFF AMID DRONE STRIKE IN SAMARA REGION." That's a sentence of 9 words? Actually "LEDE:" is a label, then space, then the sentence. The label itself is not a sentence? It ends with colon, then we can have the sentence. The label is not a sentence; it's a label. The sentence after colon must end with period. So we can have "LEDE: OZON EVACUATES 500 STAFF AMID DRONE STRIKE IN SAMARA REGION." That's okay. But we need to keep sentences short. The label "LEDE:" is not a sentence; it's a label. The sentence after colon is the lede. That's okay. We need to have multiple sections. Let's plan: LEDE: ANALYSIS: IMPLICATIONS: OUTLOOK: Each label followed by colon. Then content. We must ensure we don't use filler phrases. Now craft sentences. We need to reference events. Let's list them with brief mention. Event 1: Ozon evacuates more than 500 staff amid drone attack on its warehouse in Samara Region. Unknown actors. Unverified source. Event 2: Iranian army says its military
