Al-Ghadeer TV (Badr Organization — official) posted at 00:09 on 31 July that Lieutenant General Saad Mohsen Araibi was assigned as director of administration of the office of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Lieutenant General Abdul-Mohsin al-Abbasi as deputy secretary in that same office, and Major General Athir al-Rubaie as commander of Basra operations. The post is a bare announcement with no Badr comment, endorsement or framing attached. No other tracked channel in the collected window carried the appointments.
Watch: a second tracked network carrying or disputing the same three names; an official Iraqi government or Ministry of Defence publication of the same assignments; any Badr commentary attached to the Basra operations command post; and reaction from rival factions with Basra interests — any of these moves this file.
