Iraqi police said at least four Iranian drones struck areas northeast of Erbil early Tuesday, hitting Halifan and Soran districts; fires broke out and two drones crashed near targets. U.S. forces flew more than 10 warplanes and drones over Erbil in response. Iranian state media IRIB reported the Khor Mor gas field in Sulaymaniyah province was also attacked at roughly the same time; Khor Mor holds about 8.2 tcf of gas and is Iraq’s largest non-associated gas field. IRIB said the timing was broadly simultaneous with explosions reported in Erbil, roughly 200 km away.

Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu flew to Washington for his first meeting with U.S. President Trump in five months, saying Iran will be the “first and most important” agenda item as he seeks to expand peace while maintaining Israeli security. He departed from Nevatim airbase rather than Ben Gurion because of potential Iranian threats. The talks occur amid a temporary pause in U.S.-Iran hostilities; Trump is seeking to restart negotiations with Tehran while weighing next steps. They will also discuss a Gaza 20-point plan, Hezbollah and a U.S.-Saudi nuclear cooperation agreement; Trump said Saudi-Israel normalization may happen eventually but is unlikely in the near term.
