Late on 9 August, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) broadcast a studio segment with MP Ahmad al-Khazali ahead of a parliamentary hosting session for Iraq's foreign minister, with a caption stating that his response to "the [US-Saudi] aggression" was weak and that the questions would be severe. A second on-screen line quoted al-Khazali saying Iraq is strong and possesses missiles and drones. This rests on one broadcast on one channel; the evidence does not state al-Khazali's bloc, and no other tracked channel carried the segment in the window.
