The Pentagon said that oil is no longer the main income of ISIS

 

Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby said that oil had ceased to be the main income of the extremist group ISIS. During a press briefing, he said the "leading source" of revenue has changed.

Although the Pentagon has not yet fully figured out what replaced the oil, the replenishment of the treasury may well be carried out by a wave of abductions. Like most oil-producing countries, ISIS also suffered from a fall in prices for the main commodities of the world market.

When the Islamists seized oil wells in Iraq, they pumped more than 80 thousands of barrels of oil daily. Then they sold it on the black market at a reduced price. In general, before prices fell, it was estimated that ISIS earned it from 1 to 3 million dollars a day.

The US air strikes, according to the International Energy Agency estimates, have disrupted oil production so much that the group currently pumps only about 20 thousand barrels per day. Kirby stated that a coalition led by the US carried out 14 airstrikes against ISIS in Syria and Iraq. The coalition consists of more than 60 countries, including Jordan, writes AmericaRu.com
