Washington has dispatched an advanced radar system to its bases in Syria where U.S. troops are currently “protecting” oilfields in the country’s northeast.
Over the past week, a powerful radar system was sent to bases in Deir Ezzor which was activated last Friday.
Tanks dispatched from Iraq to protect the oilfields officially entered the country on Monday, according to reports.
The U.S. had withdrawn its forces from 16 bases in Syria during Turkey’s Operation Peace Spring, but its soldiers recently returned to six bases and military posts.
The U.S. is also said to be building two new bases in Deir Ezzor where, according to local sources, two large runways are being built in order to provide logistical aerial support to the bases.
The U.S. soldiers, who beefed up their presence around oil wells in recent weeks, were also seen meeting with representatives of the YPG/PKK terrorist group.
Israel and US-backed PKK partner up to sell Syria’s oil
The close rapport between Israel and terrorists belonging to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) has been revealed as it has become apparent that President Trump’s ally Tel Aviv will reap the rewards of Syria’s oil-rich regions.According to a report by the Los Angeles Times, an Israeli company will take over the oil fields occupied by the PKK/YPG terror group in Syria.Moti Kahana, an Israeli businessman, shared a letter sent to him by a so-called representative of the U.S.-backed YPG Ilham Ahmed, giving his company, Global Development Corporation, “the right to explore and develop oil that is located in areas that we [YPG] govern.”“We want to bring our soldiers home. But we did leave soldiers because we’re keeping the oil. I like oil. We’re keeping the oil,” Trump said in early November.The Pentagon said it was considering keeping some U.S. troops near oilfields in northeastern Syria alongside the YPG-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to help deny oil to Daesh, U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper said in October.Between the years of 2015 and 2017 the PKK/YPG seized hundreds of oil wells across Raqqa, Hasakah and Deir ez-Zor.Nothing to see here, just an email leaked to Al-Akhbar showing YPG-linked Syrian Democratic Council give the "right to explore & develop oil that is located in areas we govern" to accused Mossad spy Moti Kahana, longtime Israeli conduit for "humanitarian aid" to "moderate rebels" pic.twitter.com/u2DplO111i— Wyatt Reed (@wyattreed13) July 15, 2019 According to the British Petroleum’s Review of World Energy Report, Syria held 0.5 percent of the world’s crude oil production, 385,000 barrels a day, in 2010 before the breakout of the civil war, putting all of its resources at the mercy of terrorists and invading forces.However, the letter sent to Kahana which was signed by Ahmed, goes on to estimate that oil production will be 400,000 barrels per day, worth millions of dollars.Declaring property rights over Syrian oil is the real occupation, Turkey’s ruling party spokesman said Saturday.“Those who say that they will transfer the resources of the Syrian people to SDG are in favor of terrorism against the Syrian people,” Omer Celik, a spokesman for the Justice and Development (AK) Party, said in a tweet.He was referring to the U.S. which on Thursday said revenues from northeastern Syria’s oil fields will be directed to the YPG/PKK-led SDF.Pentagon spokesman Jonathan Hoffman told reporters that proceeds from the oil sales are not going to the U.S but the SDF, which Washington uses as a local ally against Daesh/ISIS in Syria.The oil fields have been at the center of attention following U.S. President Donald Trump’s withdrawal of American forces from northeastern Syria. Trump has since backpedaled on the full withdrawal he announced, acknowledging some troops will stay in the region “to secure the oil”.The U.S. and Turkey on Oct. 17 came to an agreement to pause Turkey’s anti-terror operation in northern Syria in order to allow the withdrawal of terrorist YPG/PKK forces from the planned safe zone, where Ankara wants to repatriate millions of Syrian refugees it is currently hosting.In its more than 30-year terror campaign against Turkey, the PKK — listed as a terrorist organization by Turkey, the U.S. and the European Union — has been responsible for the deaths of 40,000 people, including women, children and infants. The YPG is the PKK’s Syrian offshoot.The YPG/PKK terror group uses the acronym SDF as a cover for receiving U.S. support.
The U.S. has long partnered with YPG terrorists, ostensibly to fight Daesh, ignoring evidence supplied by Turkey that the YPG is in fact part of the terrorist PKK, which the U.S. does recognize as a terror group.
Ringleader of the terrorist group Mazlum Kobani implied that new foreign forces will be dispatched to Syria.
Speaking to an outlet affiliated with the terrorist group, Kobani said that in the next two weeks, the presence of foreign forces in the northeast of Syria will be ramped up, but did not provide further details.
Turkey on Oct. 9 launched Operation Peace Spring to eliminate YPG/PKK terrorists from northern Syria east of the Euphrates River in order to secure Turkey’s borders, aid in the safe return of Syrian refugees, and ensure Syria’s territorial integrity.
The U.S. and Turkey on Oct. 17 came to an agreement to pause the operation to allow the withdrawal of terrorist YPG/PKK forces from the planned safe zone, where Ankara wants to repatriate millions of Syrian refugees it is currently hosting.
“We want to bring our soldiers home. But we did leave soldiers because we’re keeping the oil. I like oil. We’re keeping the oil,” Trump said in early November.
On Oct. 22, Turkey reached a separate deal with Russia to force YPG/PKK terrorists to withdraw from the planned terror-free zone with their weapons.
Turkey has complained that despite the deal, the terrorists have remained and continue to carry out attacks.
