On 21 September, Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi was reported proposing a 90-day period in which factions would neither attack nor face U.S. attacks, followed by weapons handovers ending on 30 June 2027; groups operating after the deadline would be treated as outside the law. Ashab al-Kahf, assessed as a Nujaba front, assessed, said regulation must follow the withdrawal of coalition, U.S. and Turkish forces, while MP Ahmad Kain al-Khazali said understandings would require at least six months and Asas Parliamentary Bloc head Alaa al-Haidari said weapons control could not be fixed by date. Abu Alaa al-Walai, KSS secretary-general, separately denied that resistance forces sought personal or political concessions in the talks.
