Treasury Secretary Bessent Moves Onto a Military Base After Iranian Death Threats: Treasury Officials Confirm Move on November 10, Base Location Not Disclosed
United States Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has moved to a United States military base following death threats, The New York Times and Fox News reported on November 10. Treasury department officials confirmed the move and said Bessent would continue in his role. The severity of the threats was not immediately clear, and the location of the base was not disclosed.
Bessent is one of the architects of President Donald Trump's plan to inflict economic pain on Iran. Federal Bureau of Investigation Director Kash Patel announced earlier on November 10 that the Department of Justice had indicted three Iranian-backed operatives suspected of involvement in nearly 20 plots across the United States and Europe.
Pentagon officials told Congress at the end of October that the war with Iran has so far cost more than 47 billion dollars. Bessent is the latest senior Trump administration official reported to have moved onto a military base amid threats. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth already live on a military base in Washington, according to earlier reporting.
