BATTLE FOR WORLD / TASS | October 26, 2019: After so many years of the United States being in Syria fighting terrorism; illegally staying inside the country as an occupying force, the truth is starting to come out. And what is being revealed is that the United States is smuggling Syrian oil to other countries with convoys of trucks being guarded by United States private military companies and special operations forces, according to a damning report by the Russian Defense Ministry Spokesman Igor Konashenkov.

That the "Tank trucks guarded by US military servicemen and private military companies smuggle oil from fields in eastern Syria to other countries. In the event of any attack on such a convoy, US special operations forces and combat aviation are immediately used to protect it," Konashenkov said.

He revealed that the oil was extracted with the use of equipment supplied by the leading Western corporation conveniently bypassing all US sanctions.

The Russian Defense Ministry spokesman noted that the contract for transporting oil was executed by the US-controlled company Sadcub created at the so-called autonomous administration of eastern Syria. And that "Revenues from smuggling Syrian oil arrive at numbered bank accounts of US private military companies and intelligence services through brokerage firms that interact with it". Stating that the cost for one barrel of oil smuggled from Syria is $38, and the monthly revenue of that "private business" exceeds $30 million. And noted that "To secure such a continuous financial flow free from control and taxes, the top officials at the Pentagon and Langley [Virginia - CIA] will be willing to guard and protect oil wells in Syria from the imaginary ‘hidden cells of the Islamic State’ (IS, terror group, outlawed in Russia) indefinitely".

The entire Syrian oil smuggling operation: extraction and transportation is controlled by the United States in the country's territory both before and after terrorists were defeated there.

"The space intelligence images show that Syrian oil was actively extracted and transported on a mass scale by tank trunks for processing outside Syria under the reliable protection of US troops both before and after the defeat of the Islamic State (terror group, outlawed in Russia - noted TASS)," Konashenkov revealed.

All hydrocarbon reserves were the property of Syria, and not terrorists, or the Americans, who continue to claim falsely that their goal is to protect Syria’s oil fields from Islamic State militants.
