Al-Ahad TV, Asaib Ahl al-Haq's official channel, aired political analyst Jassem Al-Mousawi this evening saying the Sadiqoun bloc had moved from statements and condemnations to the stage of reality over the Saudi-American aggression, and demanding the government summon the Saudi ambassador with a protest memorandum and lodge complaints with the Security Council, the United Nations and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. Fifteen seconds earlier the same channel had aired legal expert Habib Al-Qarishi calling for a clear and expanded PMF law on the agenda of the next parliamentary session. The demands are carried in the voices of two invited guests, not in a factional statement; no AAH or Sadiqoun communiqué appears in the collected material.

“There should be a clear and expanded establishment of the Popular Mobilization Forces law to guarantee their rights... the Sadiqoun parliamentary bloc is to be thanked for adopting the PMF draft law... we hope the PMF law will be on the agenda of the next parliamentary session.”

كتلة الصادقون انتقلت من مرحلة البيانات والإدانات الى مرحلة الواقع بشـن العدوان السعودي الأميركي على العراق... على رئاسة الوزراء والخارجية استدعاء السفير السعودي وتسليمه مذكرة احتجاج... توجيه شكوى لمجلس الأمن والأمم المتحدة ومنظمة التعاون الإسلامي
On the same evening that a KH-affiliated outlet reported unattributed fires at party headquarters, AAH's channel is routing its response to an alleged attack entirely through ambassadors, the Security Council and the parliamentary agenda — a visible divergence in the register two networks are using about pressure on Iraq.
