At 23:44 UTC on 9 August, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) posted a studio segment captioned with a call by Adnan al-Danbous, described in the caption as a leader in Reconstruction and Development, to restore compulsory military service, which he called an honour and the unity of the people in the army. The on-screen text in the same segment carried a separate line attributed to al-Danbous that Iraq's F-16 aircraft do not resemble American aircraft or those in the region and do not move without Washington's approval. The channel's caption and visible text are what is established; no bloc statement, draft law or parliamentary step appears in the supplied evidence.

“Sheikh Adnan al-Danbous, a leader in Reconstruction and Development, calls for the restoration of compulsory military service: this is an honour and the unity of the people in the army!! / al-Danbous: the F-16 aircraft do not resemble American aircraft or those in the region, and do not move without Washington's approval”
القيادي في الاعمار والتنمية الشيخ عدنان الدنبوس يدعو لاعادة التجنيد الالزامي: هذا شرف ووحدة الشعب بالجيش !! / الدنبوس: طائرات "اف 16" لا تشبه الطائرات الاميركية او التي في المنطقة ولا تتحرك الا بموافقة واشنطن
Watch: a draft conscription bill or a bloc statement in parliament, repetition of the F-16 approval claim by other channels, and any faction voice opposing conscription — any of these moves this file.
