According to the newspaper, Iran has been preparing attacks on senior US officials and ministers for a long time. Now, three anonymous sources say that Scott Bessent has moved into a military facility because of the threat.

It is unclear how serious the threat to the Treasury secretary is. Bessent is one of the people behind the US economic pressure on Iran.

However, Bessent is not the first government official to be moved to safer accommodation. According to The New York Times, several people connected to the Trump administration have moved onto military bases, including Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.
