TEHRAN, Oct 12 (NNN-XINHUA) – Syria has denounced the ongoing U.S. plunder of oil from its territory, as an “act of piracy and an attempt to return to the colonial era,” Iranian state-run Press TV, reported.
The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Expatriates, tweeted Saturday that, the U.S. smuggling of oil and transferring them to neighbouring Iraq, were a violation of international law and the UN Charter, calling the United Nations Security Council to condemn such acts, Press TV cited Syria’s official news agency SANA, as saying.
Syria’s condemnation came, a day after the U.S. forces sent 50 tankers of stolen oil from Syria’s north-eastern province of Hasakah, towards U.S. bases in neighbouring Iraq, according to SANA.
