On 3 September, political researcher Imad al-Masafir, speaking on Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official), said resistance factions target Americans rather than regional states and that their weapons form part of international deterrence. Writer and political researcher Abbas al-Yasiri, appearing on the same programme, cited a proposal to freeze faction weapons temporarily, described regulation as a step toward state control and said factions would not surrender their weapons if the United States breached the withdrawal agreement.
