Watan TV (Badr Organization — affiliated) posted two graphics roughly nine minutes apart on the evening of 7 August, attributing to "independent competencies and elites" the claims that party statements harmonising with neighbouring states have weakened and marginalised the Foreign Ministry, and that parties preempt the government with international statements, showing weak decision-making and an absent national identity. Neither item names a neighbouring state or a party. The line appears on this one outlet in the collected window; no other tracked faction channel carries it.

Watch: a later Watan TV or Al-Ghadeer TV item naming a specific neighbouring state or party; the same argument appearing on a rival faction's outlet; or a Badr parliamentary move on Foreign Ministry authority within the next fortnight — any of these moves this file.
