The Iran War is more than 100 days old — and there is no resolution in sight.

One of the primary sticking points in the peace negotiations is the status of $24 billion in frozen Iranian assets. Now, according to CBS News, the Trump administration is pursuing a plan to “use Iranian assets to help U.S. Gulf allies recover from damage caused by Tehran’s regime during the Iran war.”

The move to divert Iran’s frozen assets to other nations highlights the acute conflict of interest between Jared Kushner’s dual role as a top negotiator for the Trump administration and the private equity manager of $6.2 billion in funds from foreign governments. Many of the potential top recipients of frozen Iranian assets are also Kushner’s top investors at his private equity firm, Affinity Partners.

Kushner is developing a multibillion-dollar resort on Sazan Island in Albania and nearby coastline. But the reality of the massive project is a lot messier.

On Monday, Albania’s Special Structure Against Corruption and Organized Crime confirmed it was investigating Kushner’s project. The investigation will probe the changes to the land’s protected status and how Kushner-controlled entities obtained rights.
