On 30 September, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) carried programme participant Abbas Ghadir asking what Iraq had gained from the U.S. withdrawal, alongside Badr MP Qusay Abbas al-Shabaki (Badr Organization — parliamentary bloc) describing sovereignty day as an important historical milestone. It also quoted Sadiqoun General Council member Amal al-Shawili (AAH — Sadiqoun) saying Iraq would respond in kind to any aggressor state. The outlet’s captions directly establish these attributed statements.

The differing judgments occur within Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official), so the contrast belongs to the speakers it platformed rather than establishing opposing official faction positions.
