Press reports on 21 and 22 September attributed to Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi a phased plan requiring factions to halt attacks for 90 days while receiving assurances against U.S. strikes, then surrender weapons by 30 June 2027. Fighters would be absorbed individually into state forces, and groups remaining armed after the deadline would be declared outside the law. The timetable follows security adviser Qasim al-Araji’s 18-19 September statements that the weapons-control committee had no fixed deadline.

The difference between the prime minister’s dated plan and his adviser’s no-deadline formulation leaves two conflicting public descriptions of the state’s weapons-control timetable.
