Al-Janoub TV (Harakat al-Jihad wal-Bina — official owned media) published a statement attributed to the commander of the Khatam al-Anbiya Central Headquarters on the morning of 1 August 2026, saying the United States is moving at an accelerating pace to ignite a comprehensive war in the region as part of a strategy of expansion and illegitimate domination. The statement says Washington proved in "the recent war against Islamic Iran" that it would commit any crime against Muslims' interests, and tells the region's Islamic states that the United States exploits their resources, wealth and critical infrastructure as a defensive shield for its worn-out army and to reinforce the war machine of the Israeli system. The rung is held down by what is missing: a single channel, a single statement, no Iraqi target, operation or timetable named, and no other tracked faction observed in the collected window addressing it.

“The United States is seeking, at an accelerating pace, to ignite a comprehensive war in the region... The Islamic states of the region must realise that the United States exploits their resources, wealth, critical infrastructure and strategic resources as a defensive shield for its worn-out army”
تسعى الولايات المتحدة الأمريكية، بوتيرة متسارعة، إلى إشعال فتيل حرب شاملة في المنطقة... يجب أن تدرك الدول الإسلامية في المنطقة أن الولايات المتحدة تستغل مواردها وثرواتها وبنيتها التحتية الحيوية ومواردها الاستراتيجية كدرع دفاعي لجيشها المتهالك
Watch: a follow-up on Al-Janoub TV or Harakat al-Jihad wal-Bina's own social channel that names an Iraqi target, site or timetable; carriage of this same wording by KH, AAH, KSS, Nujaba or Badr channels, which would make it a network line rather than one platform's relay; a kinetic claim under Islamic Resistance in Iraq or any of the assessed front brands citing the same "comprehensive war" framing; any faction statement contradicting the claim that the United States is driving toward regional war — any of these moves this file.
