The US and Iran are locked in a standoff over the Strait of Hormuz.
President Donald Trump announced "major combat operations" against Iran on Feb. 28, with massive joint U.S.-Israeli strikes targeting military, government and infrastructure sites.
Delegations from the U.S. and Iran entered negotiations in June aimed at a war-ending deal based on a memorandum of understanding signed by both countries.
The U.S. and Iran have nonetheless continued to exchange strikes, with the strategic Strait of Hormuz the primary flashpoint.
Iran's state-run IRIB corporation reported an attack on northern Iraq's Khor Mor gas field, which supplies a majority of the region's electricity.
IRIB said the gas field, in Sulaymaniyah in Iraq's autonomous Kurdish region, was attacked early on Tuesday local time, around the same time explosions were reported in Erbil -- the capital of Iraqi Kurdistan, around 125 miles away.

President Donald Trump said Monday there are "very friendly negotiations" happening with Iran, even though Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi said Monday that the Iranian delegation has made no pleas or requests to continue negotiations and he said Iran rejected an American proposal.
“Right now, they're talking to us about making a deal,” Trump said during remarks in Michigan. “But if we didn't do it tough, there would be no talk.”
Trump repeated his statements that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon.
“We’re winning big time with the Islamic Republic of Iran, and we're ensuring that they never have a nuclear weapon,” he said. “When somebody comes up and says, ‘Why are we doing this?’ Just say, ‘Because we cannot let them have a nuclear weapon.’ It's very simple.”
