Caught them @ 2321 UTC on the usual 6070 kHz with a 4-4-3-3-4 right on the Grayline sweet-spot.   Female host with a call in discussion on the futility of trying to have a productive political debate.

Iran isn't well known for keeping to hfbc scheds.

Probably spending too much time hijacking ships in the Hormuz straits and shooting down our drones 😎

I gave Bahrain a thought.   Never having logged them before I have no idea if off-frequency TX by 5 khz is normal.   i doubt its a receiver issue as i pulled the broadcast in on both the R75 and the 7700 with equal SINPOs with both receivers BW narrowed down.  Your suggestion seems to make the most sense - Thanks, I guess I'll keep attempting to snag that elusive ID.

9750 KHZ @ 2044 UTC 5 Oct 19 in Arabic.  2 songs with male vocals  then another song with male and female vocals.   Female announcer at 2056 but couldn't decipher ID thru heavy QRN from a rapidly moving storm front moving through.  Schedules show closest time-wise is VOICE OF IRAN  but that should have ended @ 2020 UTC and would've been in English.  Nothing else appears an any of the schedules for this frequency at this time.
QRT 20:57
Any ideas?
Thanks

@ 1430 UTC 26 Sept 19.   S2 with what appeared to be Kurdish until 1424 when an S20-30 blast through of Keb Mo's "Muddy Water" @ 1424 followed by Keith's "98.6" until 1430 with a very hard , abrupt QRT when the perceived Kurdish signal came back (at the same static embedded S2)  with a Y/L announcer.  I believe the Kurdish signal was Denge Welat but whats with the S20 blast through?
