Confirmed · Babil, Iraq (approximate) ·
The Iraqi government directs that operations commanders and provincial police chiefs be held responsible for oil smuggling cases, according to Alhadath, and Al Jazeera Arabic attributes the same order to the spokesman for the Iraqi commander-in-chief. Alhadath and TPOnow also report that the prime minister dismissed or relieved the Babil (Babylon) police chief and provincial intelligence directors; TPOnow says the Babylon Police commander was relieved, and the two reports give the same province.

Verification
Confirmed: 3 independent sources.
Verification describes the available evidence, not certainty that an event occurred.
Independent origins agree and an official record, a neutral body or an admission against interest backs it. That is strong evidence, not certainty; it can still change.
What we know and what remains unclear
Each detail the reports give, by how many independent origins reported it. An origin is the outlet or channel where a claim first appeared; reposts count once. Confidence in the event is not confidence in each detail. This counts reports: it is not a measure of accuracy, and it does not change the event's status. "Reports differ" means two origins gave values that cannot both be true; it is about that detail, not about whether the incident happened.
