Within a five-minute span this evening, Al-Ahad TV published two segments: Alaa al-Haidari, head of the al-Asas al-Iraqi bloc, listing among his points that he hoped the factions would bombard Saudi Arabia in response to its attack and that letting the Saudi aggression pass was shameful; and MP Hamid al-Mousawi saying the Iraqi government went to the Security Council to avoid a reaction by the resistance. Both are quoted positions carried by the channel, not statements issued by Asaib Ahl al-Haq; no Iraqi group in the collected window claimed any operation against Saudi Arabia. The rung is credible for what was said — the channel's own text and the on-screen identification carry it — and no higher, because the underlying attack and any response rest on this single network's account.

An on-air call for factional strikes on a Gulf state, aired by a faction's own broadcaster rather than issued in a faction's name, sets a declared ceiling without committing the group to it.
