Jihad wal-Bina channel names Saudi Arabia, conditional on Baghdad

Al-Janoub TV (Harakat al-Jihad wal-Bina — official) carried Wissam Aziz saying "we will discipline Saudi Arabia, as al-Hamza disciplined it, if the Iraqi government does not take action"

WHAT HAPPENED

Al-Janoub TV (Harakat al-Jihad wal-Bina — official owned media) posted on 31 July, late evening, a studio clip attributed to Wissam Aziz stating: "نحن سنؤدب السعودية مثل ما ادبها الحمزة اذا لم تتخذ الحكومة العراقية اجراء" — "we will discipline Saudi Arabia, just as al-Hamza disciplined it, if the Iraqi government does not take action." The speaker names Saudi Arabia and makes the action conditional on Iraqi government inaction; no timetable, method, or site is stated. Visual review of the clip shows a man speaking in an Al-Janoub TV studio; the identity of the speaker cannot be confirmed from the imagery and audio was not assessed. Within the same half hour, Al-Ghadeer TV (Badr Organization — official) named Saudi Arabia jointly with the United States as responsible for deaths it reported.

WATCH

Watch: an operational claim naming Saudi assets under any Islamic Resistance in Iraq or front brand; amplification of the Aziz wording by KH, AAH, KSS or Nujaba channels; a named Iraqi government demand attached to the condition; or a walk-back or clarification from Harakat al-Jihad wal-Bina. Any of these moves this file.
