On 5 August 2026 at 19:36, Watan TV (Badr Organization — affiliated media) posted a clip from the programme "Kalimat al-Fasl with Saad al-Aoufi" carrying Shloushi's formulation that the people's weapon is what protects the state. It appeared roughly forty minutes after Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official owned media) aired Ahmed Adnan saying everyone must submit to the decision confining weapons to the state. This rests on a single short clip; the speaker's fuller argument is not in the supplied evidence.
