On August 14, Sabereen News (KH — affiliated) and Unit 10,000 (KH — affiliated) carried near-identical wording attributed to Babil tribal sheikhs and notables. The statement said Jurf al-Nasr would not become a security vulnerability, that the blood of those who liberated it was not negotiable, and that unnamed opponents would not achieve their aims.

“Jurf al-Nasr will not be a soft flank for threatening Iraq's security, and the blood of the martyrs who liberated its land is not subject to bargaining. Far be it that they achieve their aims.”
جرف النصر لن يكون خاصرةً رخوةً لتهديد أمن العراق، ودماء الشهداء التي حررت أرضها ليست للمساومة. هيهات أن ينالوا مرادهم.

Watch: a named party seeking a change at Jurf al-Nasr, a follow-on statement by KH or an identified armed group, or reported security activity around the site by August 17 would clarify whether the relay remains a political-security assertion; none of these moves favors the limited relay reading.
