On 7 September, Al-Maalomah attributed to Dulaimi, whose role was not stated, the position that handing over resistance weapons depends on ending foreign forces’ role and restoring state prestige. The New Arab separately reported that Iraqi factions rejected the September weapons deadline, but its headline did not identify the factions or specify their terms. The two headlines establish the attributed publications, while neither independently establishes a position by a named faction.

“Dulaimi: handing over the resistance’s weapons depends on ending the role of foreign forces and restoring the state’s prestige.”
الدليمي: تسليم سلاح المقاومة يتوقف على انهاء دور القوات الاجنبية واعادة هيبة الدولة
Compared with categorical deadline rejection, Dulaimi’s formulation leaves open weapons handover after foreign forces’ role ends and state authority is restored; his unidentified role prevents attributing those terms to the factions described by The New Arab.
