On 7 August at 21:46, the official channel of KSS secretary-general Abu Alaa al-Walai published a three-part statement saying the Islamic Resistance in Iraq's decision to delay came in response to requests from Coordination Framework leaders, foremost Abu Hassan al-Amiri and independent politicians, that reconsideration of the response's timing, size and type "remains ongoing" as an ideological and national duty, and that those concerned should use the respite to recover Iraq's rights in proportion to the damage inflicted. Two further KSS channels reproduced the identical wording within twenty-six seconds, and the KSS-affiliated iNEWS relayed the first two parts within six minutes. The statement is the sole source for the political request it describes: no independent line in the collected material confirms that Coordination Framework leaders asked for a delay, and no target, timetable or operational detail is given.
