US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has been moved from his Washington DC home to a military base due to alleged Iran-linked threats against his life, according to CBS News and the BBC. The decision came after a Wall Street Journal article published a photograph of Bessent's Georgetown residence, potentially exposing his location.
Security concerns grew following the article's publication, as it allowed security experts to geo-locate the Treasury Secretary's home. While the exact nature of the threats remains undisclosed, US intelligence sources have expressed concern that Iran has significantly upped its efforts to target Americans, including government officials.
Treasury Department spokesperson emphasized Bessent's determination to continue pushing the US campaign against Iran's economy, despite the threats. The White House has sought further comment on the matter.
