Four militia networks relay Barzani office inquiry; Sabereen adds a slur

WHAT HAPPENED

Between 17:21 and 17:25 GMT on 17 August, four militia-linked outlets across four different factions reported an order to form an investigative committee into the assault on the office of Kurdistan Region Prime Minister Masrour Barzani. Al-Ahad TV attributed the order to \"the commander-in-chief\", while iNEWS, Watan TV and Sabereen News attributed it to al-Zaydi; none of the four names a perpetrator. Sabereen News framed its item as following the U.S. Embassy statement on the incident and referred to Barzani with the epithet \u0627\u0644\u0642\u0686\u0642\u062c\u064a.

WHY IT MATTERS

Three of the four networks carried the state line without additions, so Sabereen News's epithet and its framing of the order as a sequel to a U.S. Embassy statement is the only faction voice added to an otherwise uniform relay.
