#2 Inside Arabia: "US military presence in the oil-producing northeast region of Syria has often been justified under the pretext that US troops are deployed to secure critical petroleum infrastructure from falling back into the hands of the Islamic State’s (ISIS). But since ISIS has been defeated, this reasoning has become rather unconvincing. Back in 2019, former Defense Secretary Mark Esper offered a more probable explanation when he stated that the US presence aims to “deter Syrian government and Russian forces to operate these oil fields.”
Moreover, the agreement also falls in line with Washington’s goal to support Syrian Kurds who were a key US ally in the regional fight against ISIS. Thus, by having the Kurdish-led SDF benefit from Syria’s oil sector, the US could reduce its financial support to them."
