According to a report published by the “Jerusalem Post” newspaper, the three countries criticized an oil deal that it claims was concluded by a US company with US-backed partners in eastern Syria, which are allied countries to undermine efforts. of the United States of America to protect Syrian oil.
Russia and Turkey are jointly present in Idlib, but the former supports the Syrian regime, while the latter supports the Syrian rebels. The report confirms that the attack on the US oil deal is a new way for Tehran to work with Russia and Turkey.
The trio affirmed their commitment to Syrian “sovereignty”, while also agreeing on the “need” for the United States to leave Syria, and have for years been participating militarily, through militias and mercenaries, in the civil war that has entered their tenth year.
Iranian-backed militias are trying to reach the areas of tribal groups near Deir Ezzor to pressure the United States, especially after a Russian patrol collided with a US patrol last week, causing casualties.
The United States has worked with the SDF since 2015, as part of its efforts to combat ISIS. However, Turkey claims that the SDF is linked to a group called People’s Protection Units (YPG), and both are linked to the Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK), as Turkey classifies the SDF as “terrorists”. .
The Trump administration seeks to secure oil in Syria, and the Pentagon hopes to continue defeating ISIS, at a time when Ankara, Tehran and Moscow seek to undermine US efforts, according to the newspaper.
Tehran owns the Deir ez-Zor dossier as it puts pressure on the United States along the Euphrates River, while Turkey is doing the same in Tal Abyad by cutting off water to areas controlled by the Syrian Democratic Forces.
