According to trackers, Iran has send a large convoy of oil tankers to Syria, carrying an estimated 6.8 million barrels of oil, a huge amount for both Iran, who often struggles to find customers, and Syria who often struggles to find sellers.
War-torn Syria is a natural oil customer for Iran, and with prices low and China cutting back on its purchases, Iran seems to have decided to make a large amount available to Syria, despite US sanctions which are aimed at precluding such trade.
How this much larger trade is being paid for is anyone’s guess, but the glut in global oil supply likely made everyone decide it was comparatively less risky to make a trade right now, as opposed to later.
Though Syria would normally be a net exporter of oil, albeit a small one, the war has cut their production drastically, and one of the main oil fields is being occupied by the US, with President Trump saying he intends to keep the oil for the US.
There is no limit for the US evilness….and there is no limit for how pathetic the western countries are in their bowing and willingness in following their evil master in all illegal actions.
we are not evil. we are in charge. all our efforts are for the greater good for all. if everyone followed our doctrines there would be world peace and prosperity for all.
you are either brainwashed, stupid or a moron.
reading your other comments, i bet you are all three.
You left out the fourth option: Sarcastic.
Granted, he’s not very good at it. But if you look at his other posts, it quickly becomes apparent that that’s what he’s aiming for.
basher assad needs the oil to help refill his gas filled canisters to kill more of his own people that oppose him. he will soon be receiving a tomahawk missile on his sunday dinner table.
You heard that from Bibi, right?
we hired isis to get him and they fell short of the goal. if you want something done right you have to do it yourself i guess.
“with President Trump saying he intends to keep the oil for the US.”_____ No, Mr Ditz…US is stealing and selling Syrian oil via Turkey and that is the reason Syria needs lots of oil imports….!
