In a live interview from the Council of Representatives carried by Al-Ittijah TV (KH — official) on 23 August between 11:15 and 11:19 GMT, Huquq bloc MP Miqdad al-Khafaji said that when all forms of occupation and violations end, resistance weapons can be discussed, and in the same sequence said he doubts the possibility of all occupying US forces withdrawing from Iraq. The two statements were posted forty-two seconds apart on the channel's own feed. The rung is credible: the words come from KH's own official channel with an on-screen lower third naming the speaker and his bloc, and nothing in the window contradicts them, but the desk has only the channel's own rendering of the interview and audio was not assessed.
