KH channels carry Iranian Hormuz closure line into Iraqi feeds

WHAT HAPPENED

Between 07:34 and 07:38 on 10 August, Al-Ittijah TV (KH — official) posted four consecutive items attributed to Iranian spokesman Baqai: that Iran rejects foreign interference, that neighbouring states' territory should not be a launchpad for aggression against Iran, that closing the Strait of Hormuz is natural to prevent its exploitation in attacking Iran, and that passage will not be allowed while the war continues. Sabereen News (KH — affiliated) carried the same two Hormuz lines in one message minutes later. The words are the Iranian spokesman's; the finding is that KH's own official and affiliated channels are the carriers, and no Iraqi operational claim accompanies them.

In posting order. Translated by the desk, published as evidence — not endorsement. A channel name opens the message where it was posted.
WHY IT MATTERS

KH's official channel is the surface on which shipping-closure language and a warning about neighbouring states' territory reaches Iraqi audiences, without any Iraqi group attaching a claim to it.
