Al-Kornet al-Kata'ibi (KSS — affiliated) posted a statement attributed to a speaker it named as al-Naqdi, framing a future in which Iran's missile stocks are exhausted as the point at which Iraqi actors become more dangerous to the United States, and describing America's economic interests around the world as easily destroyed. The post appeared early in the afternoon of 12 August 2026. This rests on a single channel and a single statement; the evidence does not identify al-Naqdi's position, and no named target, timetable or operational preparation appears with it.

“Al-Naqdi: If a day comes when Iran has no missiles left, then we will be more dangerous to America. America has thousands of economic interests throughout the world, and all of them can easily be destroyed.”
النقدي: إذا جاء يوم لا يتبقى لدى إيران أي صواريخ، عندها سنكون أكثر خطورة على أمريكا. تمتلك أمريكا آلاف المصالح الاقتصادية في جميع أنحاء العالم، ويمكن تدميرها جميعًا بسهولة.
