On 24 September, Al-Janoub TV (Harakat al-Jihad wal-Bina — official) captioned a programme clip with the statement “all Iraq is resistance,” attributing it to programme guest Abdulkarim Khalaf. The caption states no operation, target or timetable, and the clip’s speech is not established by the silent frames.

“Abdulkarim Khalaf: All Iraq is resistance.”
عبدالكريم خلف: العراق كله مـ.ـقاومة
a fuller statement from the guest by 27 September specifying armed action would change the posture reading; a clarification limiting “resistance” to a political or social meaning would narrow it. Any of these moves this file.
