Al-Ahad airs call for Fayyadh's office to answer, security chief to resign

WHAT HAPPENED

Al-Ahad TV, AAH's official channel, posted two versions of the same broadcast segment within roughly six minutes early on 18 August 2026, quoting Baghdad University political-science professor Hazem al-Shamri. The fuller post lists four points: the prime minister's notification to senior PMF leadership is a sovereign decision that must be implemented; fact-finding committees will reveal the circumstances of the attacks on PMF headquarters; Falih al-Fayyadh's office should have issued a denial or an explanation; and the head of the security institution should resign if negligence is established. The on-screen banner adds "warning before the aggression — Fayyadh's failure at the doors of parliamentary accountability." The retrieved window contains no other source on this, and no independent account of the underlying attacks.

    “Notifying the senior Popular Mobilization Forces leadership of the prime minister's decision is a sovereign decision that must be implemented … there should have been a denial or an explanation from Fayyadh's office regarding what happened in the assault on the PMF … the head of the security institution should submit his resignation if negligence is proven”

    تبليغ رئيس الحكومة للقيادات العليا في الحشد الشعبي قرار سيادي يجب ان ينفذ … كان يجب ان يكون هناك تكذيب او تبرير من مكتب الفياض بما حصل من اعتداء على الحشد … يجب ان يقدم رئيس المؤسسة الامنية على الاستقالة في حال ثبوت التقصير

WATCH — WHAT WOULD MOVE THIS FILE

a statement from Falih al-Fayyadh's office denying or explaining the attacks on PMF headquarters; a named AAH official, rather than a guest commentator, repeating the resignation demand; any other faction channel carrying or contradicting the accountability line; outside reporting identifying who struck PMF headquarters and when — any of these moves this file.
