Al-Nujaba TV (Nujaba — official) posted three consecutive items between 14:28 and 14:31 on 13 August quoting Sheikh Nazim al-Saidi at what the banner in the imagery identifies as the first founding anniversary of the Karbala service brigade. Al-Saidi said the group's weapon is sacred and that all successive and current governments recognise its value and legitimacy; that "we are the state and its foundation and protectors, while governments change over time"; and that Iraq's security forces of all branches are "our brothers in faith and homeland and companions in blood and arms." The rung rests on a single channel carrying its own speaker; no other tracked channel carried the remarks in the collected window, and the accompanying visual extraction shows a banner date that does not match the posting date.

“Sheikh al-Saidi: our security forces of all branches are our brothers in faith and homeland and companions in blood and arms.”

“We are the state and its foundation and protectors, while governments change over time … we are the guardians of blood and will not allow a single drop of Muslim blood to be spilled.”
نحن الدولة وأصلها وحماتها بينما الحكومات متغيرة بمرور الوقت ... نحن حفظة الدم ولن نسمح بإراقة قطرة دم مسلمة واحدة

“Our weapon is sacred; all successive and current governments recognise its value and legitimacy.”
سلاحُنا مقدّس تُدرك قيمته وشرعيته كافة الحكومات المتعاقبة والحالية
Nujaba's official channel is on record asserting that its arms are legitimate by the recognition of "all successive and current governments," which is the position any Iraqi disarmament or PMF-control measure would have to contradict.
