PMF disowns 71 closed offices, claims the raids as its own

WHAT HAPPENED

The Interior Ministry announced the closure of 71 offices falsely claiming affiliation with the Popular Mobilization Forces, alongside a national database covering six million weapons; Kurdistan24 and Anadolu Ajansı reported both measures this morning. The Popular Mobilization Commission then issued a notice stating the offices "have no connection whatsoever" to it, that closure and follow-up were executed by its own General Directorate of Security and Discipline within the permanent weapons-inventory committee formed by the commander-in-chief, and that legal and administrative action would continue against anyone impersonating it. The rung is clear and convincing: the state measure and the Commission text are independently reported, and the Commission's own wording is carried identically by five separate faction networks.

WHY IT MATTERS

The relay establishes that on the arms-registration process the factions are publicly siding with the Commission's institutional claim to police use of the PMF name, rather than contesting the state measure.
