It is looking like Israel, Turkey and at least some of the Kurdish Peshmerga are all intimately involved with the smuggling of ISIS oil. Put the information in the video above, together with that in a story published a few days ago at Russia Insider (see below), and this is the clear picture that emerges. Note–the video report above is about the “Kurds in northern Iraq.” This would be the Peshmerga. Note also that their (the Peshmerga’s) “political enemies have long accused them of being in cahoots with Israel,” as the reporter puts it.
Here is an excerpt from the article published at Russian Insider. The link is here:
In August, the “Financial Times” reported that Israel obtained 75% of its oil supplies from Iraqi Kurdistan. More than a third of such exports go through the port of Ceyhan, which the FT describe as a “potential gateway for ISIS-smuggled crude.”It’s been well-established that Turkey is a major transportation hub for ISIS oil smuggling operations. But where is the oil sent? Someone has to buy it. The answer, apparently, is: Israel.
It isn’t ‘smugglers with donkeys’–it’s big business
