US, NYT: ‘Bessent transferred to a military base following threats from Iran’

Milan, 11 Nov. (LaPresse) – US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has recently moved from his home to a military base following Iranian threats on his life. This was reported to the New York Times by three people with knowledge of the matter. In recent weeks, US officials have concluded that Iranian plots against current and former US officials had reached a more advanced stage, partly on the basis of intelligence regarding the threats against Bessent. In a statement, a spokesperson for the Treasury Department said that Bessent “will not be intimidated by the Iranian regime’s threats”, adding that he remains determined to press ahead with the campaign to put pressure on Tehran’s economy.
