An informed source confirmed, on Saturday, that oil smuggling by US forces has stopped for the first time in years.
The source said in an interview with Al-Maalouma, “The American forces are stealing large quantities of crude oil from several Syrian fields and then transporting them to border areas with Iraq to sell them to brokers for huge sums of money.”
He added, “The tensions in the Middle East and the state of permanent alert of the American bases in Syria and Iraq prompted them to cancel smuggling operations two months ago for fear of being directly targeted, especially since they are moving with extreme caution at the present time.”
He pointed out that “the American forces in their bases inside Syria are almost besieged due to the growing popular anger over their suspicious roles in supporting the Zionist entity and causing brutal massacres against innocent people.”
It is noteworthy that American forces are deployed in several military bases inside Syrian regions and they control some oil fields.
