U.S. may tap Iranian assets to aid Gulf allies’ post‑war recovery

U.S. policymakers are evaluating options to assist Gulf partners after a recent war. One proposal involves leveraging Iranian assets held abroad. The assets could be redirected to fund reconstruction projects. Officials say the approach would require legal and diplomatic coordination. Gulf allies have expressed interest in rapid economic support. Critics warn of potential legal challenges and regional backlash. The plan is still under discussion and not yet finalized. Observers will watch for any formal announcement in the coming weeks.
