Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Relocates to Military Base Amid Iranian Threats

U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has been relocated from his residence to a military base following reports of threats to his safety linked to Iran, the New York Times said, citing sources familiar with the situation. A senior intelligence official in the Trump administration warned in a memo that plots against U.S. personnel had reached "advanced stages," and a separate memo noted that Iran's capacity to conduct large-scale attacks on the United States and its overseas territories is limited. The Treasury Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Bessent has been a prominent figure in Washington's economic pressure campaign against Tehran since the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran began on February 28.
