Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has been relocated to a military base in Washington due to Iranian threats, according to multiple sources. The move follows a media report that identified Bessent's home address, increasing security concerns. Bessent has been leading an economic pressure campaign against Iran, which includes sanctions aimed at collapsing Iran's economy. The severity and scope of the Iranian threats to Bessent are not immediately clear, and the Trump administration has not detailed the nature of the threats. Other top Trump administration officials, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, also live on military bases.
