KSS channel relays Hikma line: weapons go to the PMF Commission

WHAT HAPPENED

Al-Kornet al-Kata'ibi posted a one-line relay this evening quoting the head of the Hikma movement that "surrendering weapons will be to the Popular Mobilization Forces Commission". The channel added no comment of its own, and named no timetable, no disarming party and no source event. No other tracked channel in the collected window addresses weapons handover.

WATCH

Watch: a direct KSS statement on where weapons would go; the same Hikma line carried by KH, AAH, Nujaba or Badr channels; a rival formulation naming the Iraqi state or the armed forces rather than the PMF Commission; or an official PMF response. Any of these moves this file.
