KH channel calls handing over weapons impossible

WHAT HAPPENED

Al-Ittijah TV (KH — official) posted three anti-disarmament headlines between 07:26 and 08:20 on 14 August. One quoted al-Saidi saying the handover of the resistance's weapons is "impossible" in the face of existential threats to Iraq; another stated flatly that there is no disarmament before Iraq's sovereignty is completed. The channel is KH's own official media, which is what the assessment rests on; no operational detail, timetable or named adversary accompanies the statements.

السعيدي: تسليم سلاح المقاومة "من المستحيلات" في ظل تهديدات وجودية للعراق

“No disarmament before Iraq's sovereignty is completed.”
لا نزع للسلاح قبل استكمال سيادة العراق

In posting order. Translated by the desk, published as evidence — not endorsement.

WHY IT MATTERS

The conditions as worded place the timing of any weapons handover outside the Iraqi state's control, since neither completed sovereignty nor the end of the cited threats is defined by the speaker.
