US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has moved out of his home and into a military base after receiving threats against his personal safety from Iran, according to three people familiar with the matter cited by the New York Times. US officials concluded in recent weeks that Iranian plots against current and former American officials have entered a more advanced stage, partly based on intelligence about the threats against Bessent. Since August, Bessent has led a pressure campaign to economically isolate Iran through tougher sanctions and restrictions on trade routes, a role that has made him one of the Iranian government's top targets. The move underscores how geopolitical risk is now reaching the highest levels of US economic policymaking.
