Not investment advice. Muhabbit scores how much a story may matter, not which way to trade.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reportedly relocated to a military base after Iranian threats against his life, a move disclosed as the Justice Department late Tuesday indicted three Iranian nationals on terrorism-related charges. The shift underscores how security concerns are increasingly shaping the operating environment for senior U.S. economic officials. The Justice Department did not detail the charges against the three defendants in the initial announcement. Watch for further details on the indictment and any Treasury statement clarifying Bessent's schedule and duties from the base.
