WHAT HAPPENED

On 24 September, شفق نيوز reported that US Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned that weapons outside state control could push Iraq toward fragmentation. The report attributed to him a call to end the presence of armed forces independent of state institutions. This is a press account of Rubio’s warning, rather than an announcement by an Iraqi faction.

WATCH — WHAT WOULD MOVE THIS FILE

a US readout repeating the warning by 27 September would confirm its reported wording; a faction statement addressing Rubio’s call by 30 September would establish a response; any of these moves this file.
