Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official owned media) posted two segments on the night of 4 August attacking Iraqi politician Khamis al-Khanjar: Imad al-Musafir criticising his vision of the resistance factions with the line that accepting it would have left Daesh in Baghdad, and, about seventy-five minutes later, Mohammed al-Yasiri saying whoever reads al-Khanjar's statement after the Saudi aggression would not say he is Iraqi. Al-Khanjar's own statement is not quoted in the supplied evidence, and no other tracked channel in the collected window mentioned him.

“Mohammed al-Yasiri strongly attacks Khamis al-Khanjar: whoever reads his statement after the Saudi aggression would not say he is Iraqi!!”
محمد الياسري يهاجم خميس الخنجر بقوة: من يقرأ بيانه بعد العدوان السعودي لا يقول إنه عراقي !!
A named Iraqi political figure's response to what these broadcasts call the Saudi aggression is being made a test of Iraqi identity on a faction-owned channel, during the same hours that channel is arguing about who controls weapons.
