After the fall of Nazi Germany, the Allies didn’t just seize state assets. They hunted down, froze, and confiscated the personal wealth, estates, and bank accounts of Nazi officials, SS officers, and war profiteers.
Why are Europe and Canada refusing to apply this exact same standard to the officials of the Islamic Republic today?
Instead of going after the personal assets of the IRGC and regime oligarchs hiding in your own backyards, you treat Iran’s pre-1979 national wealth as your personal piggy bank. Whenever this terrorist regime commits an atrocity, you dip your hands into that piggy bank, using the Iranian people’s money to pay out compensations.
Meanwhile, your endless appeasement allows the actual criminals to systematically loot Iran's resources and freely transfer their stolen billions into Western safe havens to live in luxury!!!
You are forcing the victims to pay the fines of their executioners. Confiscate the terrorists' assets, not the people's!
The United States will make Iranian assets available to Persian Gulf allies to support rebuilding and repairs for future damage caused by Iran, a source familiar with the matter told Reuters on Saturday.
The source said Washington will also consider using those assets to help cover repairs for past damages, adding that US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has directed a team to assess costs already incurred by Gulf allies as a result of Iranian actions, the report added.
