At 13:29 on 31 July, Shabab al-Islam (Ashab al-Kahf — owned/non-official media) posted the statement of the Sana'a "siege with siege and escalation with escalation" demonstration, reproducing its clauses: "we renew our absolute mandate to the Sayyid Commander to take all appropriate decisions to lift the siege," "we support and endorse the operations of our armed forces to continue imposing the formula 'siege with siege and escalation with escalation' against the Saudi enemy," "we bless the imposition of a naval blockade on the Saudi enemy in kind," "we confirm our complete readiness for any costs in this just battle and escalation will be met with escalation," and "we bless the military operations that targeted ships"; the attached image carries an Al-Masirah watermark and the caption "Sana'a — Seventieth Square." Twelve minutes earlier, at 13:17, Al-Ghadeer TV (Badr Organization — official owned media) posted a single line from the same demonstration statement: "we adhere to the formula of the unity of the arenas of Islam and jihad and reject the formula of licence and of singling out each front alone," carrying none of the naval-blockade, ship-targeting or cost-readiness clauses. The first-person "our armed forces" and "our country" in the text belong to the Sana'a demonstrators, not to either Iraqi channel; neither Iraqi post added Iraqi framing, an Iraqi target, or an Iraqi operational claim. No Iraqi faction in the collected window claimed an operation against Saudi Arabia or against shipping.
