US calls for accountability after Khor Mor “terrorist” attack
Shafaq News – Baghdad
The United States on Thursday condemned the drone strike on the Khor Mor gas field in Al-Sulaymaniyah as “a terrorist attack,” urging the Iraqi government to take immediate action against those responsible.
The attack on Wednesday halted gas supplies from Khor Mor, causing an 80% drop in electricity production across the Kurdistan Region.
In a statement, the US Embassy in Baghdad warned that the strike was the latest in a series of attempts by “malign actors” to destabilize Iraq and target American investments in the Kurdistan Region, stressing that all weapons — “especially drones, missiles, and rockets” — must be brought under full state control.
“We are prepared to lend support to efforts to protect this critical infrastructure,” it added.
The United States strongly condemns the terrorist attack against the Khor Mor gas field in Sulimaniyah. 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…
