WHAT HAPPENED

On 18 September, legal expert Abbas al-Aqabi, speaking on Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official), said the purpose of resistance weapons had ended after security stabilized, investment depended on regulating weapons, the government would legally treat them as illegitimate after 30 September and legislation governing their restriction should be enacted before that date. Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) added outlet-authored captions describing state control of weapons as consolidating centralization and 30 September as a sovereignty milestone associated with ending the foreign presence. Press reports identify 30 September 2026 as the end of the U.S.-led coalition mission and a government weapons deadline, although another report says Baghdad now treats it as the beginning of a gradual regulation process.

    “The Iraqi government is now treating September 30 as the start of a process to regulate faction weapons rather than the deadline for placing them under state control.”

    The Iraqi government is now treating Sept. 30 as the start of a process to regulate weapons held by armed factions, rather than as the deadline for bringing those weapons under state control.

  2. Al-Ahad TVAAH — official17 Sept, 21:55

    “It is wrong to link the Americans’ departure to weapons regulation... There is no Coordination Framework consensus on regulating and restricting weapons on 30 September.”

    من الخطأ الربط بين جلاء الأمريكان وتنظيم السلاح... لا يوجد اجماع إطاري على تنظيم وحصر السلاح في 30 ايلول

  3. Malaysia Sun18 Sept, 03:10

    “Iraq faces two end-of-September deadlines: the end of the U.S. military presence and a government demand that non-state armed groups surrender their weapons.”

    Iraq is facing two major deadlines at the end of September: the end of the decades-long U.S. military presence and a government demand for non-state armed groups to give up their weapons.

  4. Al-Ahad TVAAH — official18 Sept, 13:27

    “The purpose of resistance weapons ended after security stabilized... Legally, the government will treat the weapons as illegitimate after 30 September... Restricting and regulating weapons must follow a law enacted before 30 September.”

    الغاية من سلاح المقاومة انتفت بعد الاستقرار الأمني في البلاد... قانونيا ستتعامل الحكومة مع السلاح على أنه غير شرعي ما بعد 30 أيلول... حصر وتنظيم السلاح يجب أن يكون وفقا لقانون يتم تشريعه قبيل الـ30 من أيلول

  5. Al-Ahad TVAAH — official18 Sept, 14:03

    “Protecting national sovereignty... ending the foreign presence.”

    حماية السيادة الوطنية.. إنهاء التواجد الأجنبي

  6. Al-Ahad TVAAH — official18 Sept, 14:05

    “30 September is a pivotal milestone in achieving sovereignty.”

    30 أيلول محطة مفصلية في تحقيق السيادة

  7. Al-Ahad TVAAH — official18 Sept, 14:06

    “Restricting and regulating weapons in the hands of the state consolidates centralization.”

    حصر وتنظيم السلاح بيد الدولة.. تكريس المركزية

  8. Al-Ahad TVAAH — official18 Sept, 14:08

    “The issue of restricting and regulating weapons is subject to the Iraqi constitution.”

    مسألة حصر وتنظيم السلاح تخضع للدستور العراقي

WHY IT MATTERS

Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) has moved from carrying disagreement over the deadline to adding its own language favoring centralized state control, while reports still diverge between a final deadline and the start of gradual regulation.
