On the evening of 22 August, Al-Ittijah TV (KH — official) reported that clerics, sheikhs and elites in Kirkuk reject the return of "takfiri incubators" to Jurf al-Nasr. Roughly an hour later, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) posted twice that tribes in Muthanna reject "sectarian statements" about Jurf al-Nasr. Neither post names the speakers, quotes the underlying statements, or identifies what statements are being answered.
