On August 28, Al-Janoub TV (Harakat al-Jihad wal-Bina — official owned media) quoted Basra notables calling the weapons file an exclusively Iraqi matter and rejecting external dictates and exclusionary policies. A separate post described a tribal festival under the banner “Imposing sovereignty and rejecting hegemony” as supporting the resistance and national sovereignty; neither item named a foreign state or announced an operational step.

“Under the title “Imposing sovereignty and rejecting hegemony,” a tribal festival supports the resistance and the country’s sovereignty.”
بعنوان فرض السيادة ورفض الهيمنة.. مهرجان عشائري يدعم المقاومة وسيادة البلاد
Compared with the notables’ generic rejection of external dictates, the festival caption explicitly associates sovereignty with support for resistance, broadening the domestic social framing without adding an operational commitment.
