Al-Ahad TV guests forecast Iraqi factions entering Iran-US war

WHAT HAPPENED

On the evening of 18 August, Al-Ahad TV (AAH \u2014 official) posted quote-cards from two guests on its programme #Before_Tomorrow within one minute of each other. Hadi Jalo Marei, introduced on screen as head of the Political Analysts Association, said weapons restriction had moved from an Iraqi problem conditioned on American withdrawal to an external crisis, that the factions hold an anti-American position and align with Iran, Yemen and Lebanon, and that "the Iraqi factions will enter the war alongside Iran in one way or another." Hussein Shalushi, introduced as a political-affairs researcher, said leaning on America against the factions complicates rather than solves the problem and that "the factions possess drones and long-range ballistic missiles." The rung is preponderance: two posts on one channel, both quoting guests whom the supplied material does not identify as faction officials, with nothing else in the window corroborating or contradicting.

WHY IT MATTERS

AAH's own channel is circulating a specific capability claim and a war-participation forecast on the record; the same platform's earlier weapons-restriction messaging kept the question inside Iraqi sovereignty terms.
