reassertions
Stating positions again
Reassertions are repeated or renewed assertions—statements made again, often with added emphasis or after being challenged.
Someone might offer reassertions of their innocence, or a government might issue reassertions of its commitment to a policy.
The word implies that the original claim needed reinforcing: Despite reassertions of support, doubts remained.
