On 25 September, press accounts reported Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi’s UN statement that the state must decide matters of peace and war and consolidate weapons under state authority; Kurdistan24 also reported a phased plan with a 30 June 2027 deadline. Later that day, Al-Ittijah TV (KH — official) carried Hoquq MP Mohammed Jabar al-Hasnawi’s argument that demands should focus on confining decisions to the state, not weapons. The deadline is a reported element of the plan, rather than a detail in the quoted UN remarks.

“Hoquq MP Mohammed Jabar al-Hasnawi: American intervention has reached the bone. Demand that decisions be confined to the state, and do not demand that weapons be confined to the state.”
النائب عن كتلة حقوق النيابية محمد جبار الحسناوي: التدخل الأميركي وصل للعظم. طالبوا بحصر القرار بيد الدولة ولا تطالبوا بحصر السلاح بيد الدولة
The disagreement concerns what the state must control: both formulations invoke state decisions, but the MP opposes making state custody of weapons the accompanying demand.
