Between 18:19 and 19:05 on 7 August 2026, four outlets reported that the Islamic Resistance in Iraq had decided to postpone a response. Al Akhbar and al-Masalla tied the postponement to Saudi attacks; Islam Times said it followed a call by Ameri and named American-Saudi aggression; al-Jumhour al-Ikhbari carried the line that the blood of the martyrs is not subject to bargaining. The rung is held at preponderance because all four items are headline-level press reports appearing inside one 45-minute span with no originating communiqué, no named spokesman and no militia channel text in the collected material to corroborate them independently.

A postponement announced in the name of the Islamic Resistance in Iraq keeps the retaliatory frame alive without an act, and the Ameri attribution places an Iraqi political figure inside the timing decision rather than outside it.
