Al-Ahad TV builds a late-night block around weapons restriction

WHAT HAPPENED

Between 23:34 and 23:44 UTC on 9 August, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) posted four segments from two of its programmes. Ramadan al-Badran was carried relaying Washington's view of the Zaidi government, saying the drive to confine weapons is welcomed by America and by every country in the world; Hussein Shaloushi was carried accusing an unnamed "political actor" of being in tune with America's projects, including normalization dictates and the Abraham projects. The on-screen banner in the Shaloushi segment read "weapons ban… fifty days before the news hour", and the banner in the adjacent segments read "parliament draws the map of the response to the aggression". The rung holds at credible because the words are the channel's own captions and its own visible text; what is missing is any identification of the accused actor and any outside coverage of the fifty-day figure.

In posting order. Translated by the desk, published as evidence — not endorsement.
WHY IT MATTERS

The channel attaches an American sponsor to the Iraqi government's weapons-restriction drive, which is the policy that bears directly on the armed factions' own weapons.
