Syria\'s Permanent Representative to the United Nations Bashar al-Jafari

Syria's Permanent Representative to the United Nations said early Saturday that the United States has occupied the country's oil wells and is looting oil renews in the shadow of the Security Council's silence.

Iran PressMiddle East: Speaking at Security Council meeting, Bashar al-Jafari said the US state terrorism has targeted Syria intending to change the region's geopolitical map.

"The Syrian war will end when foreign support for terrorism ends," he added.

"Turkey has occupied Syrian lands and has killed a large number of Syrian citizens and has displaced tens of thousands of people to deploy terrorists who follow Erdogan to the Syrian territories," he said.

"The Syrian constitution and its future belong to the Syrian people, and the greatest danger for Syria's constitutional committee is some attempt to interfere in its process to thwart efforts," he stressed.

Al-Jafari went on to say, "The US occupies Syrian oil wells and plunders the Syrians' revenues in the shadow of the UN Security Council's silence."

The US President Donald Trump was not embarrassed to frankly announce the policy of looting Syrian oil when he recently asserted that the decision to keep his occupation forces in the Syrian al-Jazeera region is for “Syrian oil only.”
