On 21 September, Kurdistan24 quoted PMF military-media director Muhannad al-Aqabi saying armed factions would not surrender their weapons but would have them regulated under Baghdad’s authority; Kalimaiq reported the fuller formulation that their management would be reorganized under federal supervision. Al-Aqabi also rejected attacks on Erbil or any other Iraqi province, while Sadiqoun MP Riyadh al-Tamimi, speaking through Al-Ahad TV (AAH — official), said his bloc supported weapons containment and regulation.

أسلحة الفصائل المسلحة لن تُسلّم إلى الحكومة، وإنما ستتم إعادة تنظيم إدارتها تحت إشراف الحكومة الاتحادية... أي هجوم على مدينة أربيل أو أي محافظة عراقية أخرى هو أمر مرفوض تماماً وغير مقبول لدينا
