Speaking to Asharq News, Muhsen AlMustafa explains that eased licensing restrictions allow applications to be considered while Washington retains approval authority. He stresses turning unified command into an institution where loyalty to the state supersedes factional affiliation, with doctrine guiding missions, training and equipment, while noting improvements in the army’s structure. He advocates gradual rebuilding with sustainable funding for salaries, training and maintenance. He warns that reliance on a single supporter could create influence, but considers this unlikely given the leadership’s commitment to independent decision-making.
