AAH AGAINST KH AND NUJABA / 01

Salam Adil's televised attacks

What he said on Al Ayyam TV, Dijla TV and Al Nahrain TV, followed by his subsequent X posts.

What Salam Adil said

Salam Adil (@SalamAdel76), formerly in KH's media network and now in AAH's, attacks KH and Nujaba on TV outside the AAH network. He names their leaders and blames their decisions for risking sanctions and another siege of Iraq.

Al Ayyam TV

Branded AYM • 3 October Hadith al-Iraq Presenter: Farah Nabil

He says KH and Nujaba refused the 30 September state-control-of-weapons agreement. Gulf states sought U.S. intervention, he says, and a U.S. message prompted an emergency Iraqi meeting. He warns of sanctions, exclusion from SWIFT, the international financial messaging system, and financial isolation.

He names Abu Hussein al-Hamidawi, KH's secretary general, and Akram al-Kaabi, Nujaba's secretary general. Their refusal of state control of weapons and the Coordination Framework agreement, he says, would expose 30 million Shia, plus Sunnis and Kurds, to siege.

He compares their decisions to Iraq's former president Saddam Hussein invading Kuwait and refusing demands to withdraw: leaders make decisions while Iraqis suffer sanctions and collective punishment. He warns that another siege's outcome is unpredictable and demands that the leaders understand the consequences.

Dijla TV

Factional interests Vehicle display

He accuses KH and Nujaba of misusing armed brigades for factional political interests and endangering the wider institution. He says their position does not represent all factions or the institution's leadership, and backs Qais al-Khazali's proposal to separate military and party politics.

In another clip, he mocks a vehicle belonging to the Popular Mobilisation Forces (PMF) driving over the U.S. flag as a cartoon-like stunt that neither avenges the dead nor defeats America. He urges an end to remaining locked in war.

Al Nahrain TV

Kaabi's flag display Sanctions warning

Separately, he names and criticises Akram al-Kaabi over his U.S.-flag display, calling it publicity unworthy of a veteran fighter and blaming shallow advice from his advisers. He also names KH and Nujaba: continuing their approach, he says, risks renewed obstruction of the PMF law, sanctions, financial exclusion and domestic crises. He urges maturity and a smarter diplomatic course.

Subsequent X posts • 4–7 October

He tells both leaders they are wrong, neither religious authorities nor the only resistance leaders, and should join the political-resistance path. He attacks Abu Hussein al-Hamidawi's political competence, accuses him of running KH as a personal empire for himself and his sons, and calls for an internal corrective revolt. Claiming authorship of sovereignty messaging for Huqooq, KH's political wing, he attacks the resistance-aligned media outlet Sabereen News, shadow pages and statements by KH security official Abu Mujahid al-Assaf as smears, abuse and betrayal accusations, and declares Abu Hussein al-Hamidawi's time over.
