WASHINGTON – The U.S. government will attempt to redirect Iranian assets to Gulf states for rebuilding and repairs of future damage caused by Iran, a source familiar with the matter said on Saturday, a day after a wave of attacks by Iran against Kuwait and Bahrain.
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has also directed a team to assess costs for damage already inflicted on Gulf allies by Iran, the source said, adding that the U.S. will consider using Iranian assets for those repairs as well.
The disclosure came a day after Mohsen Rezaei, an adviser to Iran’s supreme leader, told CNN that a peace deal hinged on the release of $24 billion in Iranian assets frozen by the United States.
The source on Saturday did not specify what kind of assets the Treasury was examining. The language used to describe the new measures did not appear limited to frozen assets.

Sources familiar with relations between Tehran and Hezbollah say that Iran plans to increase financial support for its Lebanese ally after unblocking funds under a memorandum of understanding with the United States...
A memorandum of understanding between Iran and the United States, expected to be signed on Friday, could bring significant political and financial benefits to Hezbollah in Lebanon, according to a Reuters report.
Four sources familiar with relations between Tehran and the Lebanese Shiite group said Iran has promised increased financial support for Hezbollah once it has access to funds unblocked as part of the deal with Washington.
According to the mediator, Pakistan, the memorandum aims to halt hostilities on all fronts, although full details of the agreement have not been made public. The ceasefire also includes Lebanon, where clashes between Hezbollah and Israel have escalated in parallel with broader tensions between Iran and the United States.
Israel inflicted heavy losses on Hezbollah during the 2024 war, while publicly opposing any easing of sanctions on Iran. An increase in Irani…

The U.S. will attempt to redirect Iranian assets to Gulf states for rebuilding and repairs of damage caused by Iran, a source familiar with the matter said, as Tehran followed up a wave of strikes against Kuwait and Bahrain with further drone launches.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has directed a team to assess costs for damage inflicted on Gulf allies by Iran, the source said on Saturday, adding the U.S. will consider using Iranian assets for repairs of any future destruction as well.
The disclosure came a day after Mohsen Rezaei, an adviser to Iran's supreme leader, told CNN that a peace deal to end the three-month-old war hinged on the release of $24 billion in Iranian assets frozen by the United States.
The source did not specify what kind of assets the Treasury was examining. The language used to describe the new measures did not appear limited to frozen assets.
The threat to redirect Iranian assets could create a new irritant to a fragile ceasefire between the United States and Iran, which was tested again this weekend with strikes by both nations.
Peace negotiations appear to have stalled, although a minis…
