New York Times: US Treasury Secretary Bessent moved to military base due to Iranian threat

According to the New York Times, citing sources familiar with the matter, US officials have concluded in recent weeks that "Iran's conspiracies against current and former US officials have entered a new phase", based in part on intelligence regarding threats against Bessent.

Thereupon, Bessent left his home in the capital Washington, where he had been living for a while, and settled in a military base.

Speaking on the issue, the US official did not give information about the seriousness of the threat against Bessent, but said that Iran's ability to attack the US and overseas countries is limited.

A spokesperson from the US Treasury Department stated in a statement to the New York Times that Bessent "will not be intimidated by the threats of the Iranian regime" and that he remains determined to carry out the campaign to put pressure on the Iranian economy.

Other Trump administration officials were also moved for security reasons

On the other hand, other officials from the Donald Trump administration have recently moved out of their homes for security reasons due to allegations of Iranian threats.

Among these names were Stephen Miller, who served as Trump's Private Secretary, and former Minister of Justice Pam Bondi.
