Unit 10,000 relays gloss casting delay as prepared retaliation

WHAT HAPPENED

At 15:32 on 29 July, roughly half an hour after the statement text appeared, Unit 10,000 (Kata'ib Hezbollah — affiliated) posted remarks by the media figure Khalil Nasrallah saying the resistance statement on "the American-Saudi assault on Iraq" had "dug up history as a prelude to what is coming", that "as we expected, a response will come and will be prepared for, but it is postponed until after the Arbaeen visitation rites end", that the resistance had "argued with the Baghdad government, both on confining weapons and on its capacity to answer the assault", and that "it is very clear that what happened was not let through, and the choice of the timing of the assault is not awkward". The position belongs to the quoted commentator, not to Unit 10,000 or Kata'ib Hezbollah as an institution. No other tracked channel in the collected material carried this gloss. Exact-text republication was also observed on Jehad Brothers Team (affiliated/aligned media), Shabab al-Islam (owned/non-official media), KAF Center (official social media channel), Al-Nujaba TV (official owned media), Sabereen News (affiliated/aligned media), Ilam al-Muqawama (affiliated/aligned media), and Al-Ilam al-Harbi (affiliated/aligned media).
