On 29 September, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) published a headline saying an Iranian victory was pushing defeated parties toward an “Arab-Israeli NATO” in the region. It also relayed academic and West Asia researcher Ahmed Mahdi’s assertion that the United States had lost its war against Iran and was withdrawing after its regional bases were destroyed. The headline establishes Al-Ahad’s framing; Mahdi’s claims about bases and withdrawal remain attributed to him.

The channel’s regional framing reaches beyond the Iraq withdrawal captions, while the distinction between its headline and its guest’s military claims limits what can be attributed to AAH.
