The Militia Digest
Alsumaria reported Monday that Kataib Hezbollah and Nujaba told the government weapons committee they rejected its deadline; it quoted neither faction directly. Al-Manshar al-Ikhbari separately said unidentified factions refused to hand over weapons by September 30 and proposed freezing them instead, without defining the restrictions. Shafaq News said the four-way meeting between the Coordination Framework and factions was postponed until after September 30, without naming the participants or reason. Asharq Al-Awsat reported that Supreme Judicial Council President Faiq Zidan said the judiciary supports government procedures to implement the Framework’s weapons-control plan. Rudaw reported a ruling-alliance support committee, while a newspaper account relayed by Alsumaria said the State Administration had ignored the issue. Judicial support is public; the faction refusals and coalition action remain reported rather than formally announced.
Sadiqoun MP Muhammad al-Baldawi told Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) that State Administration members had approved the Labour Ministry and deputy premiership as Sadiqoun entitlements. He alleged a possible U.S. veto and obstruction by unnamed political actors, but cited no U.S. decision. Sadiqoun MP Salem al-Absawi said the Framework had agreed deputy-premier posts and that ministries would face redistribution demands if the posts were rejected. State of Law member Salah Boushi said the posts had not entered the Framework agenda, while Reconstruction and Development Coalition member Mohammad al-Mutalibi backed Sadiqoun’s entitlement and redistribution. iNEWS (KSS — affiliated) separately reported that the Framework decided to proceed with naming the remaining ministers, but gave no nominees or timetable.
Sadiqoun MP Ahmad al-Musawi accused PMF chairman Faleh al-Fayyad of negligently failing to warn PMF units of the aggression. Legal expert Jasim al-Musawi separately argued that failure to attend parliamentary questioning should bring dismissal. He said concealing information harmful to security forces may carry life imprisonment or the death penalty, and that people harmed by what he called Saudi aggression could file criminal cases. Neither appearance announced a summons, dismissal motion or criminal filing. Pressure carried by Al-Ahad had already advanced to an MP’s removal warning, and Fayyad has not answered.
Sabereen News (KH — affiliated) and Al-Kornet al-Kata’ibi (KSS — affiliated) carried a Yemeni Armed Forces statement claiming attacks on Saudi energy and military sites with dozens of missiles and drones. Saudi Aramco reporting spread across five networks, while Khamis Mushait Air Base reporting spread across four. Al-Ahad reported that Jizan refinery was burning after Yemeni shelling. Al-Ghadeer TV (Badr Organization — official) and Al-Nujaba TV (Nujaba — official) used identical wording about precisely struck Saudi oil facilities, while Al-Kornet said the Jizan refinery was burning. Shabab al-Islam (Ashab al-Kahf — owned/non-official) relayed a Saudi Energy Ministry account of fires and temporary operational disruption. Sabereen taunted Mohammed bin Salman and said Saudi Arabia had announced 73 injuries. On the reverse leg, Al-Ahad and Unit 10,000 (KH — affiliated) reported four Saudi strikes on Al Jubah district in Marib.
Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi ordered the Finance Ministry on Monday to allocate permanent or contract positions for long-waiting graduates through the federal budget bill. Graduates from several provinces then demonstrated outside the ministry for a second consecutive day on Tuesday, seeking appointments through the 2027 budget. A protester said security forces used force and batons, while a security source said tear gas and rubber bullets were used but not live ammunition. On Monday, graduate-engineer committee member Hind Muhammad Ali told Al-Nujaba TV that the Finance Ministry was playing “hide-and-seek” with engineers. The government order tied hiring to ministries’ actual staffing needs.
