The latest shipment was sent to Iraq in batches through the illegal
al-Mahmoudiyeh crossing connecting Hasakah with northern Iraq, said the
report.

    Last week, according to SANA, more than 300 oil tankers were sent from
the U.S.-controlled Syrian oil fields in Hasakah to U.S. bases in Iraq.

In Syria, people have struggled to secure gas for cooking and fuel for
their cars and businesses. The scarcity of fuel also causes long daily
power cuts.

    On Aug. 8, the Syrian oil ministry said in a statement that U.S. forces
were stealing 80 percent of Syria's oil production.

    U.S. forces and their mercenaries are stealing an average of 66,000
barrels of oil daily in Syria. It added that the country's average daily
oil production is estimated to have reached 80,000 barrels in the first
half of 2022.

    On Aug. 29, the Syrian oil ministry said in a statement that the U.S.
practices in Syria, including its unlawful trafficking of Syrian oil, have
so far caused direct and indirect losses of about 107.1 billion U.S.
dollars to Syria's oil and gas sectors.
