The rogue governments of Iran, Syria, and Venezuela have signed an agreement to build an oil refinery in the former rebel stronghold of Homs, Syria, Iran’s Tasnim News Agency reported on Sunday.that the proposed oil refinery would process 140,000 barrels per day once completed, issuing a significant boost to production under Syrian dictator Bashar Assad. Iranian officials claimed that “studies” indicate the Homs area has unmet fuel demands that require such a project.
“The studies that were conducted found that Syria and its neighboring countries are in need of oil products, therefore a refinery with a capacity of 140,000 barrels was identified next to the two existing Syrian refineries of Homs and Baniyas,” he reportedly added.
Venezuela has been as persistent an ally to both nations as they have been to each other. Its warm relations with Iran are a result of late socialist dictator Hugo Chávez cultivating a friendship with former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad that has led to both countries routinely defending each other at the United Nations and other venues when confronted on their atrocious human rights records and jointly calling for the removal of sanctions.
