Scott Bessent reportedly moved to military base after Iranian threats reached ‘advanced stage’

Scott Bessent has reportedly moved his family onto a military base after Iranian threats against the Treasury chief reached an advanced stage.

A senior administration official said the security move reflected escalating danger tied to Bessent’s hard-line economic campaign against Tehran.

A Treasury spokesperson confirmed Bessent had relocated and insisted he would not be deterred by threats from the Iranian government.

Bessent has spearheaded operations designed to squeeze Iran through sanctions, financial isolation and restrictions on key trade routes.

He is the latest senior Trump official to shift into protected housing as Washington confronts broader warnings over Iranian threats.
