Within roughly half an hour on the evening of 22 August, Watan TV (Badr Organization — affiliated) posted three cards from the programme #كلمة_الفصل_مع_سعد_العوفي. A speaker named as al-Shalakh said the factions' sacrifices are valued and that they should integrate into the frameworks of the state; a speaker named as al-Kinani said the factions' weapons are already within state frameworks and that the Americans are waiting for 'the play', and separately that American pretexts would, after the factions, reach the Sadrist current and Badr. The supplied evidence does not state either speaker's factional affiliation, and the channel's affiliation is not theirs.

The 'already inside the state' formulation is the position that renders any disarmament demand moot without a handover, and it is being aired on a Badr-affiliated screen alongside an appeal to the Sadrist current.
