Asaib Ahl al-Haq's official armed-group channel posted just before midday: "Al-Arabi TV: Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi threatened the Coordination Framework with submitting his resignation — the Coordination Framework and the commanders informed al-Zaidi that there will be no handover of weapons or dissolution of the factions, and this decision is rejected." Roughly fifty minutes later Watan TV (Badr Organization — affiliated) carried the same Al-Arabi TV report in shorter form, over an image of a formal meeting: al-Zaidi "threatened to resign during a Coordination Framework meeting over the lack of response to him on corruption files and the handover of the factions' weapons."
