Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has relocated to a US military base due to Iranian threats against his life, which have reportedly reached a "more than advanced stage". The move was prompted by intelligence suggesting Iranian plotting against current and former American officials, including Bessent, has escalated. Despite the threats, the Treasury Department stated that Bessent "will not be deterred" and remains committed to the pressure campaign against Tehran, including Operation Economic Outcast, aimed at severing economic ties with the Iranian regime.
