U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has moved out of his home and into a military base. The decision came amid alleged threats from Iran.
Bessent was taken to a military base after U.S. intelligence agencies determined that the threats had reached an advanced stage, Fox News reported, citing an official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The Treasury Department confirmed Bessent’s move to the press, stating that he “will not be intimidated by threats from the Iranian regime,” Agerpres reports.
Bessent led Washington’s economic war against Iran, imposing sanctions on banks, individuals, companies, and airlines.
According to The New York Times, Bessent is not the only Trump administration official who has had to move. White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and former Attorney General Pam Bondi have also previously relocated.
