On 28 July, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official owned media) posted a graphic quoting national security advisor Qasim al-Aboudi: "Iran pledged to Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi to help in confining weapons" (إيران تعهدت لرئيس الوزراء علي الزيدي بالمساعدة في حصر السلاح), with the secondary line on the graphic reading that "Iran is in harmony with confining weapons outside the state's framework in the hands of the Iraqi government."

Visual review confirms the text as an overlaid graphic claim with no depicted meeting or document.
