AAH channel airs Barzani denial of Israel ties

WHAT HAPPENED

Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) posted, over an image of a man at a podium between the Iraqi and Kurdish flags, the line "Barzani: We do not have relations with Israel, and foreign policy is the responsibility of the federal government," on the morning of 8 August 2026. The supplied item does not identify which Barzani spoke, and no other tracked channel carried the statement in the window.

WHO CARRIED IT

In posting order. Translated by the desk, published as evidence — not endorsement.
WATCH

Watch: whether KH, KSS or Badr media carry or contest the same quote within 72 hours; whether any tracked channel returns to alleging Kurdish-Israeli ties after this denial; whether the federal-authority formulation is cited in militia commentary on Erbil. Any of these moves this file.
