Within a twenty-two-minute stretch late on 18 August, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) posted two segments from its "Before Tomorrow" programme, both under the on-screen banner "Weapons ban — a deadline for handover and conditions that are refused". In one, political researcher Hussein Shalushi said the factions hold drones and long-range ballistic missiles and that America fears they could reach Israel; in the other he glossed the phrase "seven dabjat" from a statement attributed to Abu Mujahid al-Asafi as meaning provocations against the factions have recurred while the factions have stayed silent. No faction is named as holding the weapons, no target, operation or timetable is given, and no attack claim accompanies either segment.

Watch: a claim of responsibility under any Islamic Resistance in Iraq or front brand naming Israel or a US position; a named faction repeating the long-range capability line in its own voice rather than a guest's; Abu Mujahid al-Asafi's own channel publishing or expanding the "seven dabjat" statement; any shift from "we stay silent" to a stated deadline. Any of these moves this file.
