KSS-aligned iNEWS says strikes ended the weapons-handover discussion

iNEWS, aligned with KSS, posted that the strikes on Iraq strengthened the resistance factions and stopped any discussion of handing over weapons

WHAT HAPPENED

At 18:34 on 1 August, iNEWS (KSS — affiliated) posted a one-line summary of a report stating that the strikes on Iraq strengthened the position of the resistance factions and stopped any discussion of handing over weapons, tagged to Nasser Qandil and a media production credit. The channel presents this as the conclusion of a report rather than a KSS statement. No tracked faction in the collected window contradicts or endorses it.
