As the theft of Syrian natural resources continues, US occupation forces have embezzled a new shipment of stolen oil into their bases in Iraq.
According to the Syrian state news agency SANA, U.S. forces have smuggled 40 truckloads of stolen Syrian oil from northeastern Syria into Iraq in recent days.
According to the report, the oil was extracted from the Rmailan region of the Hasaka province in the northeast of Syria.

The official Syrian Arab News Agency (SANA) reported on Saturday that “the U.S. occupation forces have transported tanker trucks loaded with stolen oil and vehicles carrying military equipment from al-Jazeera region [of Hasakah province] towards the territory of Iraq.”
The report stated that the crude was obtained “from oil wells occupied by US forces in the al-Jazeera region.”
SANA added that an illegal crossing was used to transport truckloads of weapons from Hasakah into Iraq by the U.S. convoy, which was escorted by armored vehicles.
In the midst of a difficult economic situation that is largely the result of sanctions imposed by the United States, the government of Syria has made numerous accusations against American troops for stealing oil from Syria and stripping the people of their own resources.
In the oil-rich areas of Hasakah, American forces have established numerous bases and taken control of the oil and gas fields there.
In 2014, the United States and its allies invaded Syria under the disguise of combating Daesh Takfiri. Washington started taking and sneaking the Syrian unrefined from the oil-rich eastern Syrian territory of Dayr al-Zawr and somewhere else under previous American president Donald Trump.
According to SANA, occupation forces used dozens of tanker trucks and other vehicles before July 7 to smuggle stolen crude to Iraq via another illegal crossing on the outskirts of Hasakah, a city in the northeast of Syria.
Damascus declares that the presence of the United States a blatant violation of its sovereignty and that it reserves the right to respond as it sees fit.
Recently, a Syrian armed force designated spot hindered a U.S. military guard that was endeavoring to go through the Hasakah Region, constraining it from withdrawing.
Russia claimed that “White Helmet” ambulances and medical vehicles are being used by militants to attack residential neighborhoods and positions of Syrian government forces throughout the war-torn nation.
According to Yevgeny Gerasimmov, deputy chief of the Russian Center for Reconciliation of Warring Parties in Syria, members of the terrorist organization Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) attack government-controlled Syrian territories as well as positions held by the Syrian army in vehicles that feature medical symbols.
Gerasimmov noticed that HTS aggressors did sixteen assaults on Saturday, remembering eight for the de-heightening zone in Syria’s northwestern territory of Idlib, five in the northern region of Aleppo, and one in the western beachfront area of Latakia.
According to Pentagon’s claims, the US military’s deployment in northeastern Syria is intended to prevent Daesh terrorists from obtaining oil from the region’s oil fields. However, the US military has mounted its forces and equipment there.
Obviously, the purpose of the deployment is to deplete Syria’s natural resources, which Donald Trump, the former president of the United States, has repeatedly acknowledged.
