KH lawmaker ties PMF disarmament to normalization

WHAT HAPPENED

Al-Ittijah TV (KH — official) carried Huquq bloc MP Miqdad al-Khafaji this morning saying that if the PMF's weapons were withdrawn, normalization would become "easier than drinking water". The same line was pushed out within minutes by Unit 10,000 (KH — affiliated) and Sabereen News (KH — affiliated), and also by Al-Nujaba TV (Nujaba — official). The rung is credible: four channels across two networks carry the identical wording and nothing in the window contradicts it, but it is one MP's statement and no faction leadership endorsed it in the collected material.

WHY IT MATTERS

The registration and closure drive is being publicly presented by the Popular Mobilization Commission as its own enforcement, while KH's network is simultaneously placing the underlying weapons question inside the normalization argument.
