AAH's Al-Ahad TV declares the "global veto" on the PMF service and retirement law lifted and puts the government on a clock

WHAT HAPPENED

Al-Ahad TV, AAH's official owned media, aired two consecutive "Political Dimensions" segments on 25 July 2026 at 19:51. Ahmad Adnan of Harakat al-Sadiqoun said the PMF service and retirement law is distinct from the structuring law, that it had been withdrawn from the government on political advice objecting to the clause on the chairman's age, that Sadiqoun is "carrying the banner" and has given the government a set period to send the law to parliament, and that Coordination Framework leaders have agreed on a clear vision, with foreign objection concerning structuring rather than service and pensions. Mohammed al-Mutlabi of the Reconstruction and Development Coalition said the "global veto" on the law has gone (الفيتو العالمي على قانون الحشد زال), no party has officially declared opposition, the road is now paved for legislation alongside weapons-containment measures (حصر السلاح), and he hopes the legislating session will be public. No KH, KSS, Nujaba, Badr or Ansar Allah al-Awfiya channel was observed addressing the law in this window.

WHY IT MATTERS

Codifying PMF salaries, service records and pensions locks the force permanently into the state payroll and personnel system, and AAH's near-solitary ownership of the push means it will also own the credit or the blame.
