Washington plans to "rob" frozen Iranian assets and give them to Gulf states

Ali Akbar Velayati, an adviser to the Iranian Supreme Leader for international affairs, said that diplomatic optimism comes at a high price, and that lasting peace stems from the balance of power, not from "a mirage of unsupported commitments."

Velayati stressed the importance of "new developments in the power equations in the region," stressing that "the old nightmare and historical fear of Western theorists about Iran's rise to power has become a reality, and a new power architecture has been formed."

He added that "the admission by Western media that (US President Donald) Trump needs a temporary agreement to open the Strait of Hormuz shows the failure of the Iranian threat doctrine and the victory of the resistance force," he said.

"The biggest strategic mistake lies with those who have plunged into the mirage of settlement in the region. A new architecture of force engineering will not be built on weakening the resistance."

Pakistan's interior minister reveals the reason for his visit to Iran

Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsen Reza Taghavi was quoted by Iran's Tasnim news agency as saying that he carries an important message to Iranian leader Mojtaba Khamenei during his visit to Tehran,  adding that he hopes things will go well.

 On  Saturday, Taqavi paid an official visit to the Iranian capital, Tehran, according to Iran's Mehr News Agency, where  a diplomatic source in Islamabad said that Taqavi left the city of Lahore after returning from Kyrgyzstan, where he participated in the meeting of the interior ministers of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, which witnessed bilateral meetings with his Iranian counterpart Eskandar Momeni.

The visit is part of a series of reciprocal visits between the two sides, as the Pakistani minister has visited Iran several times this year, starting last April with the Pakistani army chief, followed by two visits in late May and early June.

 During these visits, Taqavi held a series of meetings with a number of senior Iranian officials, including President Masoud Bezshkian, Speaker of Parliament Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi, and Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni.

U.S. plan to hand over  frozen Iranian assets to Gulf states

The  United States will make Iranian assets available to its Gulf allies to support reconstruction and repairs needed for any future damage caused by Iran, a US source familiar with the matter said.

The source explained that the United States will also study the use of those assets to support repair past damage, noting that US Treasury Secretary Scott Bisant has directed a team to assess the costs of the damage that Iran has already inflicted on Washington's allies in the Gulf.

Fox News quoted a source familiar with the matter as saying that Secretary Besant directed his team to assess the possibility of using Iranian assets to help U.S. allies in the Gulf rebuild and repair the damage caused by Iran during the ongoing war.

The source said that the US Treasury Department will use all available tools to make Iranian assets available to Washington's allies in the Gulf, in support of the necessary reconstruction and repairs for any future damage that Iran may cause.

Besant directed ministry officials to assess the situation of Gulf allies and request comprehensive estimates of the costs of repairing the damage Iran has inflicted since the war began, he said, noting that the ministry is also studying the possibility of using Iranian assets to support repairs to previous damage linked to Tehran.
