This evening Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official) aired Hussein Arab saying the state is moving toward law and discipline and that, from now on, no one will demonstrate as they please. In a separate item the same channel presented him as supporting the state taking responsibility for a response to Saudi Arabia and stating that parliament declares a state of war. Neither a protest restriction nor a parliamentary war motion is shown beyond those remarks.
