AAH airs an evidence caveat as KH and Nujaba count down

On the evening of 5 August, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official owned media) carried Haidar al-Barzanji, head of the Naram-Sin Foundation for Dialogue and Development, saying Iraq rejects aggression by any state, that no evidence has so far established aggression against Saudi Arabia from Iraqi territory, that the Foreign Ministry has several problems parliament should examine, and that Saudi aggression against Iraq is unprecedented. That aired roughly an hour and a half after Al-Ittijah TV (KH — official owned media) said the Islamic Resistance in Iraq's response deadline was nearing its end. The rung is credible: both positions are on the record from owned channels within the same afternoon, and nothing in the collected evidence contradicts either wording.
