Late on 3 August, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official owned media) posted a segment under its #نصف_دائرة tag carrying Falah al-Dhahabi's view that the weapons-confinement operation is a very complicated process and that America wants to test al-Zaidi's strength. It is a single commentator on a single channel, with no faction statement attached; the same channel's earlier Khazaal segment separately said four unnamed factions are withholding their weapons.
