Khafaji defends resistance weapons on Al-Janoub TV

WHAT HAPPENED

Al-Janoub TV (Harakat al-Jihad wal-Bina — official) posted this evening a statement to the channel from MP Miqdad al-Khafaji that the resistance's weapons are important during the critical phase the country is passing through. The item names no target, no timetable and no operation. It stands alone in the collected window; no other tracked channel carried it.

WATCH

Watch: a second faction channel restating the weapons line within 72 hours, an explicit link between the weapons and the pending PMF law vote, or any naming of a domestic or foreign party against whom the weapons are said to be needed — any of these moves this file.
