“We join the Kurdistan Regional Government and other Iraqi partners in calling for immediate action by the Government of Iraq to hold accountable the perpetrators of this terrorist attack, which is the latest in a spate of attempts by malign actors to undermine Iraq’s stability and to target American investments in the Iraqi Kurdistan Region,” it said. 

“We are prepared to lend support to efforts to protect this critical infrastructure, and we will continue to underscore the importance of Iraq asserting its sovereignty in the face of attempts to undermine it and ensuring all weapons, especially drones, missiles, and rockets, are brought under state control.”

On Wednesday, the Khor Mor gas field in Sulaymaniyah province was struck by rockets, which was widely condemned by the international community.

Senior Kurdish politician Hoshyar Zebari said on X that the attack was carried out by militia groups using Grad rockets launched from the Tuz Khurmatu axis near Kirkuk, contradicting earlier reports that suggested drones were involved.
