On 28 September, برس بي carried a Russia Today report attributing to Islamic Resistance in Iraq a warning of measures against Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi’s government if restrictions described as an air blockade on Iran continued after 1 October. Its headline said the government could be brought down, while its report text specified only “measures.” Earlier press accounts separately attributed to a KH security official a warning that a government failing to serve Iraqis would be brought down, together with opposition to restrictions on Iranian aviation.
