Al-Ahad TV, Asaib Ahl al-Haq's official owned media, posted on the night of 2 August a promotional card for its programme quoting government spokesperson Haider al-Aboudi: the state is not poor, and it is laying the ground for alternative corridors bypassing the Strait of Hormuz. The item is a single post relaying a state spokesperson with no faction commentary attached, and no other supplied source carries it, which caps the rung at credible for what was aired.

“Government spokesperson Haider al-Aboudi: the state is not poor… we are laying the ground for alternative corridors to Hormuz.”
المتحدث باسم الحكومة حيدر العبودي: الدولة ليست فقيرة… نؤسس لإيجاد ممرات بديلة عن هرمز
Watch: an AAH figure or the Sadiqoun bloc restating the alternative-corridors line in their own name; other tracked channels carrying the same spokesperson quote; any Iraqi faction linking the corridors to crossings, ports or logistics it controls — any of these moves this file.
