US Treasury chief Bessent moved to military base after Iranian threats: Report
The Treasury secretary relocated after reported threats from Iranian-linked actors as U.S. officials said Tehran’s plots against Americans have reached advanced stages.
- On Tuesday, The New York Times reported that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent moved from his home to a military base after Iranian threats against his life, citing sources with knowledge of the matter.
- Bessent serves as the face of Washington's economic pressure campaign against Tehran during the US-Israeli war on Iran, which began on February 28, making him a primary target for retaliation.
- A Trump administration intelligence memo warned late last month that lethal plots by Tehran against American citizens have reached "advanced stages," though officials noted Iran's ability to execute large-scale attacks in American territory remains limited.
- Iran has consistently denied plotting to attack officials on American soil, while the Treasury Department did not immediately respond to requests for comment regarding Bessent's relocation.
- The US-Israeli conflict continues to strain relations, having claimed top Iranian officials including the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, contributing to the current threat environment.
