Watan TV (Badr Organization — affiliated) posted two lines attributed to Fadlallah within ten minutes this evening: that the Kurdistan Regional Government has not implemented the agreement but that shelling of its territory is not accepted, and that weapons do not threaten the existence of investment companies while a minister built six palaces. Both rest on a single affiliated channel's short attributed captions; the evidence does not give the speaker's full name or office, does not identify who conducted any shelling, and does not name the minister.

“The regional government did not implement the agreement, and we do not accept the shelling of its territory.”
حكومة الإقليم لم تطبق الاتفاقية ولانقبل بقصف أراضيها !؟
The economic case against militia weapons — that armed factions deter investment — is being answered directly by Badr-affiliated media rather than ignored, which puts the argument on contested ground ahead of any weapons-control legislation.
