In its overnight "Qabl al-Ghad" programme, Al-Ahad TV carried Muhammad al-Yasiri — identified on screen as affiliated with the Popular Mobilization Forces in Baghdad — describing the Popular Mobilization Commission's statement on the government warning issued before what the channel called the Saudi aggression as "contradictory" and containing problems. The same programme segment ran under the on-screen banner "Targeting the Hashd — the evacuation loophole and the detention gap". Visual review of the segment is studio footage only, and the Commission's statement itself is not in the collected window, so the criticism is established as said while its object is not in hand.

“Muhammad al-Yasiri on the government warning before the Saudi aggression: the Popular Mobilization Commission's statement is "contradictory" and contains problems.”
محمد الياسري عن التحذير الحكومي قبل العدوان السعودي: بيان هيئة الحشد "متناقض" وفيه اشكاليات
Public fault-finding with the Commission's wording on a security episode, aired by AAH's own channel, is friction over who speaks for the PMF on the Saudi file rather than a dispute with Baghdad or Riyadh.
