Terrorist Attacks on oil and gas facilities in Syria’s Homs coincide with so-called US “Caesar Act”

MOSCOW, (ST)- Senior researcher at the Russian Foreign Ministry’s International Relations Institute Yuri Zenin has described the terrorist attacks which targeted Homs oil refinery as well as a gas plant to the south of Syria’s central region and the al-Rayan gas station as “a systematic act of vandalism” that coincides with the so-called “Caesar Act”, a US legislation that imposes coercive economic sanctions on the Syrian people.

In a statement to SANA correspondent in Moscow on Saturday, Zenin affirmed that the parties behind these blatant attacks aim at harming the Syrian civilian population through depriving them from heating fuel as winter comes”.

“This cowardly attack comes as an act of revenge following the recent successive defeats of the terrorists, particularly in Idleb,” the Russian researcher said.

 He added that the masterminds of the attacks are encouraged and incited by the US policies which keep violating the rules of the international law by stealing Syria’s oil fields and green lighting Syria’s enemies to bombard civil targets in the country under the pretext of the so-called US “Caesar Act”.
