United States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has recently moved from his home in Washington, DC, to an undisclosed US military ⁠base in the wake of “Iranian threats” to his life. The New York Times and the Reuters news agency reported the move on Tuesday, citing sources familiar with the matter, but the severity of the threats remained unclear. Iran has previously denied plotting to attack officials and people on US soil. Bessent has led a US economic pressure campaign against Iran, dubbed Operation Economic Outcast , since August to try to push Tehran to end attacks on shipping and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. In April, the US announced a blockade on Iranian ports, but Tehran has remained defiant despite the naval siege.
