U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent Moved to Military Base Amid Iranian Threats
U. S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was moved to a military installation after a news report disclosed his Washington residence and cited unspecified threats attributed to Iran, officials said.
The relocation placed him in a secured facility and is intended to protect him while the Treasury continues its sanctions campaign against Tehran. Earlier intelligence assessments had identified advanced-stage threats from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, prompting officials to transfer Bessent from his Georgetown home to protected housing, a measure also applied to other senior officials.
