AAH's Al-Ahad TV credits its own Sadiqun bloc with 'leading' the legislative push on PMF service and pension law, with no other faction observed carrying it

WHAT HAPPENED

Al-Ahad TV, AAH's official owned media, posted at 07:30 on 2026-07-26 that 'the Sadiqun bloc is leading an intensive legislative movement to pass the service and retirement law for the Hashd' (كتلة الصادقون تقود حراكا تشريعيا مكثفا لإقرار قانون الخدمة و التقاعد للحشد). No other tracked channel in the collected window mentioned the law, including Al-Ghadeer TV and Watan TV (Badr Organization), Al-Ittijah TV (KH), iNEWS and Al-Kornet al-Kata'ibi (KSS), and Al-Janoub TV (Harakat al-Jihad wal-Bina). The official channels of the PMF's own senior figure, Abu Fadak al-Muhammadawi, and of Kataib al-Imam Ali published nothing in this window.

WHY IT MATTERS

Whoever is seen to deliver statutory pensions and service terms to hundreds of thousands of PMF personnel accrues a durable patronage claim over that constituency, which is why the credit-claiming matters as much as the legislation.
