But most importantly, according to al-Sadr, “the uncontrolled weapon should not be within the framework of the state and its use against opponents and revolutionaries and in the consolidation of influence and the rooting of the deep state, especially since the current prime minister is subjected to enormous pressures in this regard even though he is the commander of the armed forces and the lack of response by some militants to him, even if they were within the scope of the state.”
