Iraq's Al-Nujaba reiterates opposition to disarmament

Iraq's Al-Nujaba reaffirmed its rejection of disarmament, distancing itself from a broader initiative under which several armed groups have begun taking steps toward transferring weapons and integrating members into state institutions.

Hawzah News Agency- In a statement, the movement, stressed that its position on the "disciplined sacred weapon" remains unchanged, saying it was established to defend Iraq, its people, and its holy sites.

It also referred to earlier remarks by Secretary-General Akram al-Kaabi, who described comments by the US embassy's chargé d'affaires in Iraq regarding the weapons of the "resistance" as the result of "direct incitement" by Israel.

Al-Kaabi had expressed regret that some Iraqis had become, in his words, a "mouthpiece" for such positions, and called on armed factions to reject any discussion of disarmament, arguing that Iraq's sovereignty remains compromised by ongoing and overt foreign interference.
