US Treasury Secretary Jay Bessent has been moved to a military base following intelligence indicating Iran has escalated efforts to target senior American officials, according to sources cited by the New York Times. The relocation represents a significant security escalation amid heightened tensions between Washington and Tehran.

Despite the threat assessment warranting protective measures, Bessent stated he is “not deterred” by the Iranian threats and continues to carry out his duties. The move reflects broader US concerns about Iranian targeting of high-level government personnel.

This development comes amid multiple reported Iranian threats against US interests, including statements from Iranian security officials about potential strikes on American military bases in Europe and ongoing hostile rhetoric from Tehran.
