Two of 33 watched channels carried near-identical wording on 11 September quoting former Tunisian foreign minister Rafik Abdessalem. Sabereen News (KH — affiliated) posted that the United States went to war against Iran to overthrow its government and eliminate its nuclear weapon but became mired in Hormuz, with its predicament compounded by Houthi control of Bab el-Mandeb; Jehad Brothers Team (Nujaba — affiliated) repeated the formulation within the hour.

“The Americans went to war against Iran to overthrow the government and eliminate the nuclear weapon, but instead became mired in the waters of the Strait of Hormuz; now their predicament has doubled after the Houthis took control of Bab el-Mandeb.”
الأمريكيون ذهبوا إلى الحرب ضد إيران بهدف إسقاط النظام والقضاء على السلاح النووي، فإذا بهم يغرقون في مياه مضيق هرمز، والآن أصبحت مصيبتهم مضاعفة بعد سيطرة الحوثيين على "باب المندب"

The near-identical carriage aligns the two networks around a single pro-Iran, anti-US description of Hormuz and Bab el-Mandeb, while establishing amplification rather than who originated the quoted account.
