Baghdad: Prime Minister’s Advisor Qasim al-Araji has clarified the intentions behind restricting weapons to state control, emphasizing that this move is not intended to overlook the sacrifices of Iraqi citizens.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, al-Araji stated that the contributions of the Iraqi people in defeating terrorism and defending the nation are a source of immense pride and honor. He articulated that the policy of restricting weapons to the state is designed to establish a regulatory framework that not only protects fighters and their families but also ensures their legal and social rights under the law and the General Command of the Armed Forces.

Al-Araji stressed the importance of crafting media messages with precision to promote a sense of reassurance and national unity, rather than using threatening language. He highlighted that the security of citizens and the stability of fighters and their families are paramount concerns for the government.

Furthermore, al-Araji noted that genuine feedback is valued and considered to enhance the media message through official channels. This approach aims to prevent any exploitation of fears or distortion of national objectives.
