On August 25, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) aired Unit 10,000 al-Quraishi saying some actors sought to remove “the weapons of the Shia” even though the Kurdistan Region’s weapons were more dangerous. Later, the channel carried Ramadan al-Badran’s statement that Washington was monitoring weapons consolidation and that economic sanctions could not be ruled out; neither guest’s factional affiliation was supplied, and neither segment was presented as an official AAH declaration.

Watch: repetition by Qais al-Khazali (AAH — secretary-general) or the Sadiqoun bloc, an explicit rejection of weapons consolidation, a defined consequence attached to sanctions, or corroboration of impending U.S. measures by August 28; any of these moves this file.
