On the morning of 20 August 2026, Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) aired three separate AAH-linked figures on Fayyadh inside a twenty-minute span. Ahmed Adnan of the Sadiqoun General Authority called the PMF Commission's statement 'regrettable' and said it represented Fayyadh and his team only; a Sadiqoun member mocked the prospect of Fayyadh missing the questioning session; Abbas Ghadeer called non-attendance 'an escape' and fear. All three are from a single channel, which is why the rung stops at credible: the channel is reliable evidence of what AAH's own media broadcast, and nothing in the window contradicts it, but no second outlet or Fayyadh response is in hand.

AAH's own broadcaster is now disputing the representative authority of the PMF Commission's chairman by name, which is a contest over control of the institution rather than a policy disagreement with it.
