Watan TV (Badr Organization — affiliated) reported that al-Zaidi, receiving the US Central Command commander, stressed adherence to agreed timelines with 30 September as a fixed and final date to end the international coalition's mission and its departure from Iraq. Its second post minutes later carried the 1 October formulation used by the other channels. iNEWS (KSS — affiliated) separately reported the prime minister and the CENTCOM commander confirming a complete and final agreement to end the foreign presence. The rung is credible: two networks independently place the statement in the same CENTCOM meeting, but only Badr's channel carries the 30 September date and no outside coverage of the meeting is in hand.

“The importance of adhering to the agreed timelines, with 30 September as a fixed and final date to end the international coalition's mission and its departure from Iraq.”
اهمية الالتزام بالجداول الزمنية المتفق عليها بأن يكون يوم 30 أيلول المقبل موعداً ثابتاً ونهائياً لإنهاء مهمة التحالف الدولي ومغادرته العراق
The difference is in what each network chose to put on record about the same meeting: an enforceable date on Badr's channel, a settled agreement on the KSS-linked channel, which is the material the reader can hold against what happens at the end of September.
