On 21 August, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) posted two segments roughly a minute apart: political analyst Haider Arab saying Falih al-Fayyad must attend his questioning session over what the channel calls the Saudi-American aggression, and legal expert Mohammed al-Silawi saying that questioning him in absentia and referring him to the competent courts would be a constitutional and legal procedure if he does not appear. Both positions are attributed to the named commentators speaking to Al-Ahad, not to an AAH official; the evidence does not state either man's factional affiliation. No other tracked channel in the collected window carried the Fayyad questioning, and there is no outside coverage of it in the supplied material.

A faction-owned channel is publicly rehearsing the legal route by which the PMF chairman could be referred to the courts, which puts the pressure question inside Iraqi state institutions rather than in rhetoric about the strikes.
