Syria Condemns Washington’s Oil Theft As US Military Resumes Smuggling Crude to Iraq

 The Syrian Foreign and Expatriates Ministry on Saturday condemned the plundering of Syrian oil by the US military forces, urging Washington to withdraw its illegitimate forces from the Arab country’s territory.

In a post on its Twitter page, the Syrian foreign ministry condemned the plunder of the country’s oil through the Syrian-Iraqi borders as an “act of piracy and an attempt to return to the colonial era,” urging the UNSC to denounce the acts and put an end to it, while pointing out that they are against international law and UN convention.

Meanwhile, Washington has reportedly continued to plunder Syria's energy resources, by using dozens of tanker trucks to smuggle crude oil from the northeastern province of Hasakah to bases in neighboring Iraq where American forces and trainers are stationed.
