Syrian oil fields

Umm clearly youre mistaken? https://www.defense.gov/News/News-S...nse%20official.


quote:

Revenue from oil fields in Syria supports the Syrian Democratic Forces, not the United States, said a defense official.

"The revenue from [oil fields] is not going to the U.S. [It] is going to the SDF," said Jonathan Rath Hoffman, assistant to the secretary of defense for public affairs, during a news conference today at the Pentagon.

According to Navy Rear Adm. William D. Byrne Jr., the vice director of the Joint Staff, ISIS was in control of the oil infrastructure in Syria in 2015 and was producing 45,000 barrels a day — worth about $1.5 million.

Hoffman sais ISIS used that money to fund operations not just in Syria and the region, but throughout Europe and the world. "And we want to prevent that from happening," he said.

The U.S. military and partners in Syria now work "shoulder to shoulder" to keep ISIS forces from ever again having access to the Syrian oil infrastructure and the revenue it produces, Byrne said. Nevertheless, controlling the oil fields in Syria is not the U.S. mission in the country.

"The mission is to defeat ISIS," Byrne said. "The securing of the oil fields is a subordinate task to that mission. And the purpose of that task is to deny ISIS the revenues from that oil infrastructure."
