ERBIL, Kurdistan Region of Iraq – US Special Envoy to Iraq Tom Barrack on Monday condemned an attack on the Kurdistan Region’s vital Khor Mor gas field the previous night, affirming Washington’s support for Erbil and Baghdad to hold perpetrators accountable.

The Kurdistan Region’s largest gas field was targeted late Sunday. Its operator, UAE-based Dana Gas, said on Monday that it was a suspected drone attack.

“We condemn the attack on Khor Mor, which was an attack on the Iraqi people,” Barrack wrote on X.

Located in Sulaimani province’s Chamchamal district, Khor Mor is the Kurdistan Region’s largest supplier of gas for electricity generation.

Omed Ahmad, spokesperson for the Kurdistan Regional Government’s (KRG) electricity ministry, said the production halt is expected to reduce electricity generation on the Region’s grid by 2,500 to 2,800 megawatts.

Iraqi Prime Minister Ali al-Zaidi ordered the formation of a joint investigation committee with Kurdistan Region authorities to investigate the attack, his office said early Monday.

“We support Prime Minister Zaidi and the Kurdistan Regional Government in finding those responsible and holding them to account,” Barrack added.

Khor Mor has come under repeated attacks, forcing staff evacuations and halting production.

The field was also attacked in November 2025, halting production and reducing the Region’s electricity generation by 80 percent for several days, from 4,000 MW to 1,000 MW.

The strike was strongly condemned regionally and internationally, with the KRG appealing for air defense systems to protect the key facility – the largest of its kind in the Kurdistan Region.
