Prime Minister and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, Ali Faleh al-Zaidi, welcomed the decision by the leader of the Shiite National Movement to detach "Saraya al-Salam" and fully integrate it into official security forces. Al-Zaidi described the move as a
responsible and national stance that enhances the state's prestige and internal stability, reinforcing the principle of state monopoly over weapons. The Prime Minister called on all armed factions to follow this path and operate under the umbrella of official institutions,
emphasizing that the current phase requires unified efforts to protect Iraq's sovereignty and security, with the state being the sole entity authorized to enforce the law and hold arms.
