On 9 October, Al-Janoub TV (Harakat al-Jihad wal-Bina — official owned media) attributed criticism of the Finance Ministry over the dollar crisis to programme speaker Abdulrahman al-Jazaeri, and later presented his statement that Iraq exports oil through Hormuz as a response to Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi. Its programme headline described Hormuz as holding back oil and the dollar as strangling the dinar, while Iranian analyst Muhammad Gharawi was quoted announcing that giant tankers carrying Iraqi oil had crossed the strait. The outlet subsequently reported angry Basra protests rejecting the exchange-rate change and demanding protection of livelihoods.

Al-Janoub TV’s own economic framing is distinct from the positions attributed to its programme speakers; neither the tanker-passage claim nor the Finance Ministry criticism constitutes an official Harakat al-Jihad wal-Bina statement.
