On the afternoon of 10 August, Watan TV (Badr Organization — affiliated) reported government spokesman Haider al-Aboudi saying the dialogue on restricting weapons to the state continues under the direct supervision of Prime Minister Ali al-Zaydi, that Iraq will not be part of the region's conflict axes because that harms its economy, that federal-Kurdistan coordination is under way to inventory coalition force sites before their withdrawal at the end of September, and that Baghdad supports the Mecca agreement. This is one channel relaying a government statement; the position belongs to the spokesman, not to Watan TV or to Badr.

“The dialogue on restricting weapons to the state continues under the direct supervision of Prime Minister Ali al-Zaydi — Iraq will not be part of the region's conflict axes because that harms its economy — coordination is under way between the federal government and the Kurdistan Regional Government to inventory coalition force sites before their withdrawal at the end of next September.”
حوار حصر السلاح بيد الدولة مستمر بإشراف مباشر من رئيس الوزراء علي الزيدي — العراق لن يكون جزءاً من محاور الصراع في المنطقة لأن ذلك يضر باقتصاده — التنسيق قائم بين الحكومة الاتحادية وحكومة اقليم كردستان لجرد مواقع قوات التحالف قبل انسحابها نهاية أيلول المقبل
The withdrawal-site inventory and the end-of-September date give the weapons-centralisation dialogue a fixed calendar against which faction positions can be measured.
