There has been some talk that the illegal occupation of Syria by the United States (and Turkey too) is not about natural resources. Simply stating the oil output of Syria compared to other countries is not a very helpful way to look at the situation. Let me draw your attention to the proposed so-called "Friendship Pipeline" (the Iran–Iraq–Syria pipeline). Now let me bring you attention to the proposed Qatar-Turkey Pipeline.
What you have is two competing gas pipelines that want to go through Syria. One proposed by allies of the United States (the Sunnis) and other proposed by enemies of the United States and Iraq (allied with the other Shia goverments in the region). Qatar and Turkey are pretty chummy at the moment, and it would make sense that Turkey wants Qatari gas.

Iran-Iraq-Syria Pipeline proposal:
We learn that (in the above article where I got the images from):
Saudi, Qatar and Turkey may not be as friendly with each other as they used to be when the Syrian war started (so the Saudis may not appreciate a Qatari pipeline going through their country), but at least the Iranian plans got scuppered...right? After all, it's an open secret now than Israel and Saudi are rather chummy at this point, and the both of them have a deep hatred for the Iranians. The United States hates Iran too for some reason, and, thus, they have turned a blind eye to the Saudis supporting DAESH and other terrorists so far (don't forget that fifteen of the nineteen 9/11 hijackers came from Saudi). It would appear that the war in Syria is about fossil fuels after all. Or this all just a coincidence?

Quote:"(President) Assad signed off on the Iran plan in 2012 and it was due to be completed in 2016 but it was ultimately delayed because of the Arab Spring and the civil war."
