Asaib Ahl al-Haq's media campaign
Salam Adil, a commentator affiliated with the Iraqi militia Asaib Ahl al-Haq (AAH), makes aggressive named attacks on Kataib Hezbollah (KH) and Harakat al-Nujaba, rival armed groups. AAH-owned Al Ahad TV, its official broadcaster, carries a softer policy argument. Unofficial AAH pages reinforce that policy.

Salam Adil and Haider Barzanji
Haider Barzanji is an AAH-affiliated commentator.
Salam Adil argues for diplomacy, trust in the financial system and building state institutions to avoid sanctions.
Haider Barzanji argues for organising weapons within the state and moving resistance into politics. He presents this as progress, rejecting charges of betrayal or retreat.
The reviewed Al Ahad TV appearances avoid naming KH, Nujaba and their leaders.

A shared policy quotation • 1 October
They carry Qais al-Khazali, AAH's leader, urging state building and constitutional procedures for weapons outside state control, under schedules set by the government and the Coordination Framework, an alliance of Shia political parties.
These pages reinforce the policy; the reviewed posts do not repost the named-attack clips.
The responses
KH- and Nujaba-affiliated accounts attack Salam Adil personally, call the confrontation an AAH media campaign and defend their refusal of state weapons control. Replies circulate within and between their networks. Kataib Sayyid al-Shuhada (KSS), another Iraqi militia, leaves room to resist implementation: an affiliated account attacks Salam Adil, while its official statement ties commitment to others' compliance. The Badr Organisation, an Iraqi armed and political group, is silent on the AAH attacks against KH and Nujaba in the reviewed material.
