Hakim reported to place surrendered weapons under the PMF Commission

WHAT HAPPENED

Iraqi press reporting on the afternoon of 22 August attributed to Ammar al-Hakim the statement that the handover of weapons would be to the Popular Mobilization Commission. The faction channels' weapons items followed the same evening. The rung is credible: the attribution is carried in reporting outside the militia channels, and nothing in the supplied evidence contradicts it, but no militia channel in the window responds to it or names al-Hakim.

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

WATCH

Watch: a KH, Nujaba, AAH or Badr response naming the PMF Commission formulation; a PMF Commission or Abu Fadak statement accepting or declining the role; a Coordination Framework text adopting the wording; any Sadiqoun or Muntasirun parliamentary motion built on it — any of these moves this file.
