US-led forces have blown up three oil tankers in Syria as the United States increases its pressure on Syria by thwarting the oil trade between the PKK/YPG and the Assad regime, according to local sources quoted by several media sources.
The strike was carried about by coalition planes, which hit three oil tankers, leaving four dead. The coalition has not yet made a statement about the attack. In the area controlled by Assad, oil consumption stands at around 136,000 bpd. Production, meanwhile, is only 24,000 barrels per day. This means that the regime must import significant volumes of crude oil at an estimated expense of more than $2 billion per year.
The attack comes a couple weeks after the EU extended its sanctions on the Assad regime for one year after the Syrian regime upped the ante in repressing the Syrian people, bringing the Syrian crisis to a boiling point.
Reports surfaced weeks ago that Iran had resumed oil shipments to Syria in the wake of US sanctions on the former, with a million barrels arriving in Syria from Iran on May 5. Further illicit oil shipments may be coming, as a new border crossing between Iraq and Syria is currently under construction, Fox News reported last week, based on satellite imagery revealing that construction is underway.
In Syria, Arab residents of oil-rich Deir Ezzor area began protests in April against US-backed Kurdish forces that control the region to the East of the Euphrates. The protests disrupted the oil flows from nearby fields, most of which have been controlled by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces since the end of 2017.
The fuel and electricity shortages that are occurring now in Syria have soured previous supporters of Assad against his rule. Iran, who has poured billions into Syria to prop up the Assad regime in recent years, is now feeling US pressure on both fronts—one at home as its oil exports are restricted, and another in Syria.

Hi Julianne,
I really enjoyed your article but felt inclined to make a few corrections and adjustments to make if fit reality a wee bit more…
US terrorists Blow Up Three Oil Tankers In Syria
US-led terrorists have blown up three oil tankers in Syria as the United States increases its terrorism in Syria by thwarting the oil trade between the PKK/YPG and the Assad government.
The attack comes a couple of weeks after the EU extended its illegal sanctions on the Assad government for one year after the Syrian government upped the ante in
defeating ISIS which is supported by the Israeli regime, the US regime, the British regime, the Saudi regime hence the Rothschild Regime.
In Syria, Arab residents of oil-rich Deir Ezzor area began protests in April against US-backed Kurdish terrorists that control the region to the East of the Euphrates.
The protests disrupted the oil flows from nearby fields, most of which have been controlled by the US regime-backed terrorists since the beginning of this terrorist
attack on Syria by the Jewish regimes running most of the world through their criminal control of money.
Iran, who has poured billions into Syria to help Assad in recent years, is now feeling US regime pressure on both fronts—one at home as its oil exports are restricted, and another in Syria.

Thank you Voltman.
Brilliant, Voltman.
That is exactly what it is and going on in Syria.
Great response! Well done.
The Rothschild’s want a greater Israel with more Mussie land clearances from Syria. Pseudo lefty and globalist George Soros says Europe must take in millions more. The US and Israel jest keep bombing the shit out of the place while fueling opposition terrorist forces to further destabilizing the nation and displace the people.
The atheistic Zionists push a Bible in our faces saying it is a deed to all the land to the Euphrates and beyond, depending on how they want to interpret it. “Christian” Zionist idiots are incapable of reading the Old Testament with the New. Hey everybody the true Jews were the first Christians who followed Christ. They neither needed literal circumcision nor the earthy land of Zion to spread out into the world and do God’s universal bidding with the Good News for all of mankind. Those who chose to reject Christ ended up with the restlessness of mamanon constantly lusting for more and more material and temporal dominance. Those who chose Christ chose the dispersion as the way to giving God’s chosenness to all of mankind with a Zion centered in the Kingdom of heaven in our midst, not chained to the temple of the old dispensation. The true Jews of that time where also the true Christians and the old Israel with the old Pharisaical Judaism was nothing but an empty egg shell with the chick hatched and gone on its way to flourish in the larger world of all of mankind.
I like Voltman.
yes the US is the seat of world terror guided and controlled by the filthy zios
its time the british people said NO MORE and got the US bases out
Viva Voltman forever!!!
Excellent!!
Outstanding comments by Fred and Voltman!
This latest aggression on Syria is another grossly illegal and highly immoral outrage. Americans would go absolutely ape-shit if another country blew up tankers and murdered workers in, say, the Gulf of Mexico. The hypocrisy and stupidity is galling.
