Satellite images prove US smuggling of Syrian oil: Russia
Tehran (KNA) - Russia, citing satellite imagery, says the United States has been smuggling Syrian oil to other countries under the protection of its troops before and after the defeat of the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group in the region.
Russian Defense Ministry spokesman Major General Igor Konashenkov said on Saturday that "the space intelligence images showed that oil was actively extracted and massively exported for processing outside Syria, under the reliable protection of US troops, before and after the defeat of the Daesh terrorists."
Konashenkov stressed that the convoys were guarded by US private military companies and special operations forces.
