Neither IRI channel supplied attack dates for its 40 releases, so a delay cannot be calculated. Saraya Awliya al-Dam supplied dates for 27 of 34 releases: median one day, range zero to one. Jaysh al-Ghadab supplied 11 of 20: median same day, range zero to one, plus one release with a date range. Ashab al-Kahf supplied 4 of 10: same day. Rijal al-Bas al-Shadid supplied 28 of 39: median 32 days, range 3–36. Undated releases remain in totals. This measures footage release, not the first attack announcement.
