KH and KSS outlets both hit Fuad Hussein's diplomacy same afternoon

Unit 10,000 (KH — affiliated) and Al-Kornet al-Kata'ibi (KSS — affiliated) both attacked Foreign Minister Fuad Hussein's diplomacy on 5 August, one over the Basra–Aqaba oil pipeline and Chevron, the other over his meeting with a Saudi official the channel said had struck Iraqi territory

WHAT HAPPENED

On 5 August, Al-Kornet al-Kata'ibi (KSS — affiliated) posted an image of the Iraqi foreign minister shaking hands with a man in Saudi dress, captioned that he was meeting "the Saudi who targeted Iraqi territory, leaving 50 people between martyrs and wounded." Just over an hour later, Unit 10,000 (KH — affiliated) called Fuad Hussein "the separatist foreign minister" over his discussion with his Jordanian counterpart of an oil pipeline to Aqaba, labelled the project "the normalization project" and asked whether the energy it would supply comes from Jordan or "the Zionist entity through the Zionist company Chevron." Neither post is attributable to KH or KSS as an organizational statement, and the supplied evidence contains no outside reporting on either the pipeline talks or the meeting.

WHO CARRIED IT

    With his broad smile, the Iraqi foreign minister meets the Saudi who targeted Iraqi territory, leaving 50 people between martyrs and wounded.

    Despite popular rejection of the normalization project, extending the (Basra–Aqaba) pipeline.. the separatist foreign minister Fuad Hussein discussed with his Jordanian counterpart the project to extend the oil pipeline to the port of Aqaba "and supply Iraq with energy" … where does the energy come from, Jordan or the Zionist entity through the Zionist company Chevron??"

WHY IT MATTERS

Two separate faction media networks are contesting the foreign ministry's opening to Riyadh and Amman in the same hours, which places Iraq's neighbourhood diplomacy — not only the US file — under militia-media pressure.
