In an interview sequence carried by Al-Ghadeer TV (Badr Organization — official) late on 18 August, Hamid al-Mousawi, named on-screen as spokesman for the Badr parliamentary bloc, said resistance forces responded to the American side only after 36 American attacks on Iraqi security headquarters, and in an adjacent segment said America intervenes in Iraqi affairs and threatens Iraqis through their money held at the U.S. Federal Reserve. The account rests on this single channel; the supplied evidence contains no outside reporting of the 36 strikes and no unit is named as having responded.

“The resistance did not respond to the American side until after 36 American attacks on Iraqi security headquarters.”
المقاومة لم ترد على الجانب الأمريكي إلا بعد 36 استهدافا أمريكيا للمقرات الأمنية العراقية
The retaliation framing is being voiced by the parliamentary spokesman of a faction that simultaneously claims the state-monopoly principle as its own platform, so the same voice supplies both the compliance line and the justification for armed action.
