Report: US Military Forces Smuggle New Convoy of Stolen Oil from Syria to Iraq | Farsnews Agency

Amid Washington’s aggressive attempts to systematically smuggle basic commodities out of Syria, a convoy consisting of more than a hundred US military tankers carried thousands of liters of crude oil from the country’s Northeastern province of Hasakah to the semi-autonomous Kurdistan region in Northern Iraq.

Local sources, requesting anonymity, told Syria’s official news agency SANA that 144 tankers laden with stolen Syrian oil entered the Iraqi territories on Thursday after crossing Al-Mahmoudiya border crossing.

The development took place only a few days after American occupation forces allowed a convoy of 60 vehicles, including tanker trucks carrying stolen Syrian oil and covered trucks, to cross the “illegitimate” Al-Waleed crossing into Iraq.

On Wednesday, Bouthaina Shaaban, a political and media adviser to Bashar Al-Assad, the Syrian president, condemned the US for plundering Syria's resources as the latest data shows that most of oil produced in the country had been pillaged by the illegal American military presence and the Takfiri militants it supports.
