The United States is exploring the possibility of utilizing Iranian assets to fund repairs for damages incurred by potential Iranian attacks on Gulf countries, according to a Reuters report. This consideration follows a series of Iranian missile strikes on US military installations in Kuwait and Bahrain, which resulted in material damage but no casualties. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has tasked officials with evaluating the costs associated with these damages and investigating whether Iranian assets could be tapped to cover these expenses. The proposal is sensitive, especially as Iran has demanded access to billions of dollars in frozen funds as a key condition for broader negotiations with Washington. This development comes amid ongoing military confrontations, with US forces recently striking Iranian radar installations in response to threats from Iranian drones in the Strait of Hormuz. The situation remains precarious, with fears of further escalation in the region despite the presence of diplomatic channels.
