On 7 October, the Sadiqoun bloc (AAH — parliamentary bloc), through Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official owned media), called for explanations of the dollar’s rise, monitoring of its effects on prices and measures rather than statements. Sabereen News (KH — affiliated/aligned media) criticized the government’s economic response and alleged that it leaked the exchange-rate change to close associates the previous night, enabling large dollar purchases and a rise from 157 to 165 within hours. Reports from Unit 10,000 (KH — affiliated/aligned media), Al-Kornet al-Kata'ibi (KSS — affiliated/aligned media), Al-Nujaba TV (Nujaba — official owned media) and Al-Ghadeer TV (Badr Organization — official owned media) described factory or medicine-depot stoppages, empty Baghdad markets and a reported 25% medicine-price increase; these publications establish the outlets’ statements, while the leak and economic-impact allegations remain unverified.
