Badr's Al-Ghadeer TV published a statement from secretary-general Hadi al-Amiri on the weapons-monopoly file calling on all parties to adopt "moderation and calm", to avoid tension in positions, and to reject anything creating gaps and feeding disputes, while expressing confidence in the intentions of Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi and "the men of the resistance". The same statement warned against "the consequences of hasty, ill-considered or provocative interpretations" and asked for "the abandonment of unjustified tense language in some statements, declarations and media activities". It was carried within the same half hour by KH-affiliated Sabereen News, by KSS-affiliated Al-Kornet al-Kata'ibi in full, and in excerpt by AAH's Al-Ahad TV.
