Late on 20 August 2026, Al-Ahad TV posted a one-line statement that Jurf al-Nasr land contracts have not been renewed since 2003 and that most contract holders are accused of terrorism, attributing it to Turki and tagging its programme Al-Hadd al-Fasil. Sixteen minutes later Watan TV posted the same sentence word for word, attributing it instead to the governor of Babil, over a graphic map of the Jurf al-Sakhr area. Neither post cites a decision, a court ruling or a named enforcement step, and no outside coverage of the statement appears in the collected material.

Jurf al-Nasr land tenure is contested state-administered property, and a public statement that most contract holders carry terrorism accusations is the ground on which continued restriction of those contracts is argued.
