On 23 September, Shafaq News quoted an unnamed Coordination Framework source warning that Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi’s 30 June 2027 deadline for bringing faction weapons under state control could complicate negotiations with faction leaders. The source said Framework political leaders had discussed a longer tentative timeframe with the prime minister before his New York trip. The account is an unnamed source’s description of the talks, not an announced Framework decision.

a named Framework position on 30 June 2027, a revised government timetable, or faction leaders’ stated terms by 30 September would distinguish a negotiating objection from an adopted change; any of these moves this file.
