On the evening of 15 August 2026, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) used its Before Tomorrow program to air Muhammad al-Yasiri saying security leaders received notice of a Saudi-American bombardment hours earlier, Abdel Karim Khalaf saying confirmation that the information reached Falih al-Fayyad indicates a command-and-control defect, and al-Yasiri saying a clause concerning Fayyad obstructed the PMF law. The speakers are program guests, not named AAH officials. The underlying notice, defect and legislative stall are uncorroborated outside this broadcast.

“Muhammad al-Yasiri: The clause concerning “Falih al-Fayyad” obstructed the PMF law.”
محمد الياسري: فقرة سن "فالح الفياض" عطلت قانون الحشد الشعبي
The same broadcast treats Fayyad as both the legislative bottleneck and the command-and-control failure point, a divergence from a unified defense of PMF leadership.
