On 1 October, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official owned media) attributed to Reconstruction and Development Bloc deputy head Mansour al-Baiji an allegation that Gulf states fought Iraq’s democratic process after 2003 and financed terrorism. An earlier caption from the same programme identified his role and carried the accusation about opposition to the democratic process.

“Al-Baiji: Gulf states fought the democratic process after 2003 and financed terrorism.”
البعيجي: دول الخليج حاربت العملية الديمقراطية بعد 2003 ومولت الإرهاب
The added accusation broadens al-Baiji’s criticism from opposition to Iraqi politics to alleged financing of violence; it remains his allegation rather than an official AAH statement.
