US media: Threatened by Iran, U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent takes refuge in a military base

According to 深潮 TechFlow, on November 11, citing The New York Times, three people familiar with the matter said U.S. Treasury Secretary Bessent recently left his residence and moved into a military base after receiving threats from Iran targeting his personal safety. The sources said U.S. officials have concluded in recent weeks that Iranian plots targeting current and former U.S. officials have entered a more advanced stage; this assessment is partly based on intelligence about threats against Bessent.

The sources said that since August, Bessent has led a pressure campaign aimed at economically isolating Iran through tougher sanctions and restrictions on trade routes. This role has made him one of the U.S. government officials most targeted by Iran.
