Following Washington’s theft activities, it is believed that the US military is attempting to carry out another looting of Syria’s natural resources by sending truckloads of ammunition and logistical supplies to the province of Hasakah in the country’s northeast.
A convoy of 30 trucks carrying fuel, ammunition, and logistical equipment crossed the border at Waleed on Saturday and was headed for US positions in the province, according to local sources cited by the Arabic-language Sputnik news agency of Russia.
According to the sources, the convoy headed toward unofficial US military installations in the Hasakah countryside, particularly the base located at the al-Jibsah oilfields in the al-Shaddadi town.

The development comes just a few days after 39 US military tankers filled with Syrian crude oil rumbled through the al-Mahmoudiya border crossing on their way to northern, semi-autonomous Kurdistan in Iraq.
The Pentagon claims that the US military has deployed troops and equipment to northeastern Syria in order to prevent Daesh terrorists from seizing control of the region’s oilfields.
However, Damascus insists that the unauthorized US deployment is intended to raid the nation’s abundant mineral resources.
A senior Russian diplomat expressed outrage earlier this month over the US military’s continued illegal occupation of Syria and demanded that the Pentagon end its illegitimate occupation of the country’s energy- and mineral-rich regions.
According to Mikhail Bogdanov, the Russian president’s special representative for the Middle East and Africa, “Washington uses the pretext of combating terrorism to be present east of the Euphrates in economically significant areas, where crude oil and strategic natural reserves are abundant.”
In addition, he continued, US troops are stationed in southern Syria’s al-Tanf region, which represents a flagrant violation of the nation’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Bogdanov also criticized the US for aiding militants opposed to Damascus who are led by Kurds in northern Syria under the banner of the so-called Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).
