Citing local sources, Syria’s official news agency SANA reported that US military forces smuggled a new consignment of stolen Syrian oil to its bases in Iraq.

It stated that the 45-tanker US convoy carried oil stolen from the al-Jazeera oil fields into northern Iraq through the illegal al-Mahmoudia crossing.

Back in November, a rocket strike targeted the US occupation base in the Conoco gas field, northeast of Deir Ezzor in eastern Syria, in response to the American aggression on the cities of al-Mayadin and al-Bukamal.

US troops claim to be occupying the area in order to rid the region of terrorists, yet the US has strategically implanted itself there for the purpose of stealing Syria's natural resources as well as destabilizing President Bashar al-Assad's government. 

In December of 2022, Syria's foreign ministry said the US occupation forces and their affiliated military groups' systematic lootings of Syrian oil, wheat, and other national resources have amounted to direct losses valued at $25.9 billion and indirect losses valued at over $86 billion.

Trump had commented on the US troops' illegal presence in Syria, blatantly declaring, “We’re keeping [Syria’s] oil. We have the oil. The oil is secure. We left troops behind only for the oil.”
