Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has moved to a military base after U.S. officials determined Iranian threats against him have reached an advanced stage.
The relocation reflects escalating security concerns tied to his role in the Trump administration's campaign to economically isolate Tehran, which includes a series of sanctions aimed at cutting off Iran's access to international markets and weakening the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
At least half a dozen other senior officials have also been placed in protected housing amid similar Iranian threats, underscoring the heightened risk to U.S. personnel involved in Iran's policy battles.
