🚨🇺🇸🇮🇷 Washington found its counter to Iran's $24 billion demand: spend the frozen money on the countries Iran keeps hitting
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has ordered officials to tally the damage Gulf partners have suffered from Iranian attacks and price out repair and recovery costs, as the administration weighs using frozen Iranian assets to compensate for past and future damage linked to Tehran.
Think through what that does.
Iran says the entire deal hinges on getting its $24 billion back.
Treasury's answer is to start metering that pot out to Kuwait and Bahrain, so every missile Tehran fires at its neighbors now drains its own recoverable fortune.
The airport terminal, the casualties, the repairs, it all gets billed to Iran's account.

@RedEagleUpdates A. She has a visceral hatred of Donald Trump. He publicly embarrassed her once (cancelled trip incident), a mortal sin in her book, NEVER EVER to be forgiven. Ideology aside, absolutely guarantee it is personal with her and restitution was required. Italian mafia mentality.
After an accomplishment filled week by President Trump, I have the pleasure of reading a piece of Friday fiction, courtesy of the Daily Mail.
To be crystal clear, I am not going anywhere. I am honored and proud to serve President Trump, proud of our team and remain fully committed to advancing his agenda on behalf of the American people.
Some in the media have spent a decade trying to manufacture drama around President Trump and people who work for him. They were wrong then, and they are wrong now.
See you Monday.
