Al-Janoub TV asks why rivals are pleased the Hashd was struck

Al-Janoub TV (Harakat al-Jihad wal-Bina — official) aired a segment asking "why are most of the nawashit happiest about the shelling of the Hashd?", putting the question to security expert Abdul Karim Khalf

WHAT HAPPENED

At 20:51 Al-Janoub TV (Harakat al-Jihad wal-Bina — official owned media) promoted a "Political Corridor" segment in which presenter Haidar Rashid asks "why are most of the nawashit happiest about the shelling of the Hashd?", with Abdul Karim Khalf answering. The unnamed "nawashit" — activists — are not identified, and the answer itself is not contained in the supplied post. The same expert, Abdul Karim Khalf, appeared the same hour on Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) discussing preconditions for total war and Iraqi armament spending.

WHY IT MATTERS

A faction channel identifying domestic actors as beneficiaries of the strikes moves the casualty event into the register of internal Iraqi score-settling, which is where lawfare and espionage-prosecution demands land.
