State-run Syrian news agency SANA reported that US occupation forces in Syria looted on Sunday further Syrian resources and unlawfully smuggled them to their occupation bases in Iraq.

SANA revealed that during the past 24 hours, the US forces smuggled about 95 tankers of oil from al-Jazeera fields.

The Syrian news agency cited local sources in the town of al-Yaroubia as saying that the US occupation forces smuggled a convoy of vehicles to Iraq through the illegal al-Mahmoudiya crossing.

In August 2022, the Syrian Oil Ministry revealed that the US occupation forces loot the majority of Syria's oil, knowing that the daily production of the eastern oil fields is 80.3 thousand barrels.

The United States has been for years supporting the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) militias, and the US-backed forces are currently controlling parts of the provinces of al-Hasakah, Deir Ezzor, and Raqqa, where the largest Syrian oil and gas fields are located.

The actions carried out by the United States constitute state piracy with the aim of plundering Syria's oil resources and depriving the Syrians of their own resources amid a harsh economic situation caused largely by the US occupiers.

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.

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.
