US Considers Using Iranian Funds to Repair Gulf Infrastructure Damage

The United States is considering using Iranian financial assets to fund infrastructure repairs in Persian Gulf states damaged by attacks. The move would represent a significant escalation in tensions between Washington and Tehran, potentially marking a new phase in the long-standing diplomatic and economic confrontation between the two countries. Such a decision would likely involve frozen Iranian assets held in international banks, which the US has used as leverage in previous sanctions regimes against Iran.
