U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was reportedly moved from his Washington, D.C., home to a military base due to Iranian threats on his life.
The New York Times, citing officials familiar with the matter, said that U.S. officials had concluded Iranian plotting against current and former American officials had reached a more advanced stage.
Separately, Reuters reported that the severity of the threats against Bessent was not immediately clear.
Bessent has led "Operation Economic Outcast," a Treasury campaign launched in August to isolate Iran economically through sanctions and other financial measures, in addition to the U.S. military actions.
The Times reported that Bessent's role in that campaign has made him one of the Trump administration officials Iran most wanted to target.
