Recommended Revision
The third sentence contains a critical misstatement of law. Consider revising to something like:
“However, ‘[t]hreadbare recitals of the elements of a cause of action, supported by mere conclusory statements, do not suffice.’” Iqbal, 556 U.S. at 678. Rather, the assumption of truth applies only to well-pleaded factual allegations, not legal conclusions.
