Following Iran threats, US moves Scott Bessent to military base for protection

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent recently moved out of his home and onto a military base after Iranian threats against his life, The New York Times reported on Tuesday, citing sources with knowledge of the matter.

The newspaper reported that the severity of the threats to Bessent was not immediately clear.

Iran has previously denied plotting to attack officials and people on US soil.

The US Treasury Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

American and Israeli attacks have killed top Iranian officials, including late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
