On 23 September, Alsumaria reported that Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi’s June 2027 weapons deadline replaced an earlier 30 September deadline. Citing Iraqi sources in Baghdad, it said al-Zaidi had agreed with Coordination Framework leaders and senior Shia political figures to defer the matter, and reported plans for a new PMF directorate to receive weapons from armed groups under government supervision. The directorate is a reported plan, not an established institution.
