On 6 August, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) published an extended set of remarks from Sadiqoun bloc MP Ahmed Kain al-Khazali on the fiscal crisis: salaries are under real strain from regional and international events, the Finance Committee hosted the finance minister on external and internal borrowing, the minister answered with control of the border crossings as part of the solution, the Strait of Hormuz situation may not resolve in one or two months, oil will be exported at 750,000 barrels via Turkey, and the committee has adopted an investigation into funds spent arbitrarily, with new accounts and arrest warrants not previously addressed expected. The claim rests on one faction outlet quoting its own bloc's MP; no supplied outside coverage of the committee session appears in the window.
