Nujaba accepts weapons monopoly but prices it at U.S. withdrawal

Al-Nujaba TV carried MP Hamid al-Mousawi saying state sovereignty "is not divisible" and no weapon outside official institutions can stand anywhere in Iraq, while conditioning the 30 September weapons-centralization decision on full U.S. withdrawal and demanding it cover Kurdish and Turkish armed groups first

WHAT HAPPENED

Between 11:15 and 11:20 on 6 August, Al-Nujaba TV (Nujaba — official) published five consecutive quotes from MP Hamid al-Mousawi. He called weapons centralization "a purely Iraqi sovereign decision" barring Saudi or other foreign involvement, said any implementation on 30 September should coincide with complete U.S. withdrawal by air, land and sea, demanded that law enforcement cover all armed groups outside state authority including Kurdish and Turkish groups in the Kurdistan Region "before targeting those who fought terrorism", said the foreign minister should have sent Riyadh a message of condemnation over the "sinful attack on Iraqi security sites" instead of involving external parties in an internal Iraqi matter, and stated that state sovereignty is not divisible and cannot stand with any weapon outside official institutions in any part of Iraq. The five posts are from a single official outlet quoting one named MP.

WHO CARRIED IT
  1. Al-Nujaba TVNujaba — official owned media06 Aug, 14:15

    Weapons centralization in the hands of the state is a purely Iraqi sovereign decision, and briefings to or involvement of Saudi Arabia or any other state in a file concerning Iraq's internal security is not permissible.

    إن حصر السلاح بيد الدولة قرارٌ سيادي عراقي خالص، ولا يجوز تقديم إيجازات أو إشراك السعودية أو أي دولة أخرى في ملف يتعلق بأمن العراق الداخلي.

  2. Al-Nujaba TVNujaba — official owned media06 Aug, 14:16

    Justice requires that this cover all armed groups outside state authority, without exception or selectivity, including the Kurdish and Turkish armed groups present in the Kurdistan Region, before targeting those who fought terrorism.

    العدالة تقتضي أن يشمل ذلك جميع الجماعات المسلحة الخارجة عن سلطة الدولة، دون استثناء أو انتقائية، بما فيها الجماعات الكردية والتركية المسلحة الموجودة في إقليم كردستان، قبل استهداف من قاتل الإرهاب

  3. Al-Nujaba TVNujaba — official owned media06 Aug, 14:17

    Any implementation of the weapons-centralization decision on 30 September should coincide with a commitment to complete American withdrawal from Iraqi territory.

    ينبغي أن يتزامن أي تطبيق لقرار حصر السلاح في 30 أيلول مع الالتزام بالانسحاب الأمريكي الكامل من الأراضي العراقية

  4. Al-Nujaba TVNujaba — official owned media06 Aug, 14:18

    It would have been more fitting for the foreign minister to direct a message of condemnation and displeasure to the Saudi side over the sinful attack on Iraqi security sites.

    وكان الأولى بمعالي وزير الخارجية أن يوجّه رسالة إدانة وامتعاض إلى الجانب السعودي إزاء الاعتداء الآثم على مواقع أمنية عراقية

  5. Al-Nujaba TVNujaba — official owned media06 Aug, 14:19

    State sovereignty is not divisible, is not applied by double standards, and cannot stand with any weapon outside the framework of official institutions in any part of Iraq.

    فسيادة الدولة لا تتجزأ، ولا تُطبَّق بمعايير مزدوجة، ولا يمكن أن تستقيم بوجود أي سلاح خارج إطار المؤسسات الرسمية في أي بقعة من العراق

  6. Al-Ittijah TVKH — official owned media06 Aug, 14:19

    The objective of the Saudi aggression against Iraq is the beginning of a project to withdraw the resistance's weapons.

    هدف العدوان السعودي على العراق هو بداية مشروع لسحب سلاح المقاومة

WHY IT MATTERS

Nujaba is on record accepting the legal principle its close ally rejects, which gives the government a Shia armed-faction voice to cite for the 30 September framework while leaving the conditions — U.S. withdrawal, Kurdistan-first enforcement — as the actual price.
