On August 26, Falih al-Khazali (KSS — Muntasirun bloc) said foreign forces must leave Iraq and that alleged daily airspace violations require a national position. He attributed previous attacks on Iraqi security forces to Israel, the United States and their allies; desk collection found this framing on one of 34 watched channels within the window, iNEWS (KSS — affiliated), and no operation, specific response or timetable was announced.

“National sovereignty must be achieved and must not be fragmented, and the departure of foreign forces from Iraq is a national duty... Aircraft continue to violate the airspace daily, which requires a national position befitting Iraq.”
السيادة الوطنية يجب أن تتحقق وان لا تتجزأ وخروج القوات الأجنبية من العراق واجب وطني... لا زالت الطائرات تخرق الأجواء يوميا مما يستدعي موقفا وطنيا يليق بالعراق
an official KSS statement, a named response, a specific foreign installation or aircraft, or a timetable would move the posture beyond parliamentary pressure; any of these moves this file.
