AAH channel airs guest's Saudi invasion-capability claim

WHAT HAPPENED

Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official owned media) posted late on 29 July a segment from its programme "Qabl al-Ghad" headlined "دمهم فاير" and quoting Adnan al-Kanaani: "العراقيون قادرون على اجتياح السعودية خلال ساعات مثل الكويت لكن الرد العسكري قد يكون مكلفا" ("Iraqis are capable of overrunning Saudi Arabia within hours like Kuwait, but the military response could be costly"). The on-screen banner framed the episode as "السعودية.. جار لا يحسن الجوار!" ("Saudi Arabia: a neighbour who does not neighbour well!") and carried a second line attributed to al-Kanaani naming Pakistan, Egypt, Turkey and America as standing behind Saudi Arabia. The position belongs to the quoted guest, relayed by AAH's own channel; the capability language is his, not an AAH organizational statement. No other tracked actor was observed carrying or answering this framing in the collected window, and there is no operational claim, no named site, and no timetable attached.
