Iran’s threats against the U.S. Treasury Secretary / Scott Bessent moved to a military base for security reasons

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent moved from his residence to a military base after U.S. intelligence agencies assessed that alleged threats from Iran had reached an advanced stage. The information was reported by the American media on Tuesday.

Fox News, citing an anonymous official, reported that Bessent was transferred to a military base as a security measure. The New York Times said that the exact severity of the threats was unclear at the time of reporting.

The Treasury Department confirmed the move and said that the official “will not be intimidated by threats from the Iranian regime.” U.S. authorities say Iran has a limited ability to carry out large-scale attacks in the United States and other overseas territories.

Bessent is coordinating Washington’s economic strategy against Tehran and has imposed sanctions on banks, individuals, companies and airlines. According to The New York Times, he is not the only Trump administration official relocated for security reasons. White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and former Attorney General Pam Bondi were also relocated previously.
