FAA (Ansar Allah al-Awfiya — official social media channel) published a series of quotes from group leader Ali al-Fatlawi in the early hours of 17 August 2026, saying Jurf al-Nasr had been a dangerous flank for the Middle Euphrates and southern Baghdad, that the area once known as the "triangle of death" was liberated after "the blessed fatwa" by the security forces, the Popular Mobilization, the resistance factions and the tribes together, and that no participant's contribution can be denied. He said the group insists on the name "Jarf al-Nasr" and considers the current reopening of the file an early electoral bid for political purposes. Visual review of the attached video shows a talk-show studio with a chyron reading "the triple test: Jurf al-Sakhr, weapons and corruption" and a WATAN TV logo; the speakers are not identifiable from the frames and the audio was not assessed, so the attribution rests on the FAA caption alone.

“We insist on calling it 'Jarf al-Nasr' because it represents a victory for Iraq and Iraqis... We consider the reopening of the Jarf al-Nasr file at this time an early electoral bidding-up and an attempt to bring the file back to the fore for political purposes.”
نصرّ على تسميتها «جرف النصر» لأنها تمثل نصراً للعراق والعراقيين... إعادة إثارة ملف جرف النصر في الوقت الحالي نعدّها مزايدة انتخابية مبكرة ومحاولة لإعادة الملف إلى الواجهة لأغراض سياسية.
another faction or a state institution publicly disputing the "Jarf al-Nasr" name or the access and return arrangements for the area; a parliamentary or judicial move on the file; or Ansar Allah al-Awfiya naming the political actors it says are bidding on it — any of these moves this file.
