The United States is preparing to make Iranian assets available to its Gulf allies to support rebuilding and repairs for future damage caused by Iran, according to a source quoted by Reuters.

The source revealed that the US will also consider using those assets to cover repairs for past damages, signaling a broader compensation framework. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has reportedly directed a team to begin assessing the costs of damage already inflicted on Gulf allies by Iran.

This move underscores Washington’s commitment to strengthening ties with Gulf partners amid ongoing regional tensions. Analysts suggest that the decision could serve both as a deterrent against future Iranian aggression and as a reassurance to Gulf states that the US remains a reliable ally in safeguarding their security and infrastructure.
