# Washington prepares a blow to Tehran's wallet: Iranian assets may be transferred to allies to compensate for damages

The United States is developing a strategy that could radically change the economic landscape in the Persian Gulf. Washington plans to use frozen Iranian assets as a financial tool to support its allies in the region. This involves compensating for the damage caused by Iran, as well as creating guarantees in the event of future incidents.

### Plan for asset distribution

Information about Washington's new intentions came from sources familiar with the situation and was published by The Times of Israel. According to the data, the US intends to provide access to Iranian assets to partner countries in the Persian Gulf. The main goal of this initiative is to finance restoration work and eliminate the consequences of aggression.

It is important to note that the mechanism can work in two directions:

    - Compensation for damage caused by Iran in the past.

    - Financial support in the event of new damage in the future.

### Assessment of financial losses

To implement this plan, an accurate calculation of losses is required. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has already ordered a special group to assess the cost of the damage that America's allies suffered due to Iran's actions. The results of this work will become the foundation for making a final decision on the redistribution of funds.

### Negotiation context and Tehran's position

Washington's decision comes at a time of tense diplomatic contacts. Earlier, Reuters reported that Iran is insisting on concluding a temporary deal with the US. Tehran sees this as a way to ease economic pressure and stabilize the internal situation, without touching on the issues of the nuclear program.

However, negotiations, according to Mohsen Rezaei, military advisor to the Supreme Leader of Iran, have reached a deadlock. The key obstacle became $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets. Iran is putting forward tough demands: receiving $12 billion immediately after signing the agreement and the remaining amount later. Given that the US is considering the possibility of transferring these funds to third parties to compensate for damages, the likelihood of the parties' positions converging looks low.
