Between roughly 19:00 and 19:40 on 4 August, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official owned media) carried three summary cards from its programme #Nisf Daira. Independent politician Hussein al-Shalakh was quoted saying six special-forces brigades are "capable of swallowing" all Gulf states, that the Popular Mobilization institution alone "is capable of occupying Saudi Arabia", and that the government could go to the United Nations over "the Saudi aggression"; political researcher Imad al-Musafer was quoted saying the resistance "has what frightens and deters others" and that Riyadh had spoken of receiving incorrect information about striking the Hashd. The words belong to the two guests, not to AAH or any armed faction, and the retrieved window contains no other channel carrying them and no outside coverage of the underlying Saudi–Hashd episode.

“The resistance has what frightens and deters others … Saudi Arabia spoke of having received incorrect information about striking the Hashd … Disengagement does not mean handing over the weapon.”
المقاومة لديها مايخيف ويردع الاخرين … السعودية تحدثت عن حصولها على معلومات غير صحيحة باستهداف الحشد … فك الإرتباط لا يعني تسليم السلاح

“The Popular Mobilization institution alone is capable of occupying Saudi Arabia … The government can resort to the United Nations regarding the Saudi aggression.”
مؤسسة الحشد الشعبي لوحدها قادرة على احتلال السعودية … الحكومة تستطيع اللجوء إلى الامم المتحدة بشان العدوان السعودي

“The resistance factions' statement responding to Saudi Arabia is a threat to the government … We have six special-forces brigades "capable of swallowing" all the Gulf states … Al-Fayyad was informed of the timing of the strike on the Hashd but took no measures.”
بيان فصائل المقاومة للرد على السعودية تهديد للحكومة … لدينا ستة الوية من القوات الخاصة "قادرة على بلع" كل دول الخليج … الفياض ابلغ بموعد استهداف الحشد لكنه لم يتخذ الاجراءات

“We agree with the Framework's vision of restricting weapons to the state's hand … We cannot applaud the factions refusing to hand over their weapons.”
نتفق مع رؤية الإطار بحصر السلاح بيد الدولة … لا نستطيع التصفيق للفصائل الرافضة لتسليم سلاحها
