iNEWS (KSS — affiliated) posted two items eighteen minutes apart on the evening of 22 August from the programme "Deep Breath with Leith al-Jazairi": one giving the cost of ongoing projects as 310 trillion and saying thirty years would be needed to repay it, the other quoting commentary on the 2027 budget amounts as suicide for the Iraqi economy. The rung is preponderance: the wording is verbatim from the channel's own captions, but the figures are television commentary with no independent fiscal source supplied and no other tracked channel carrying the line in this window.
