KH's channel refuses disarmament, demands Kurdistan militias be included

WHAT HAPPENED

Within twenty-five minutes on 22 August, Al-Ittijah TV (KH — official) published two positions on the weapons file. The first, attributed on screen to Sabah al-Ardawi, described as head of the Kataib Hezbollah representation in Babil, said the Islamic Resistance would not submit to a Zionist-American conspiracy working to remove the weapons of dignity; the accompanying video was a split screen pairing the speaker with outdoor explosion and smoke footage that visual review could not tie to any identified place or event. The second, attributed to al-Sarraj, said the decision to restrict weapons must include the militias in the Kurdistan Region and not the resistance alone. The rung is credible: both come from KH's own channel on KH's own position, and nothing in the window contradicts them.

WHY IT MATTERS

The two framings set different bargaining positions for the same legislation: one negotiates over custody, the other sets a precondition that the Kurdistan Region be covered before any restriction applies.
