Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has relocated from his Washington-area residence to a U.S. military base following Iranian threats against his life, according to multiple reports citing people familiar with the matter.

The New York Times first reported the development on Tuesday, with confirmation from Reuters, CBS News, and other outlets. A Treasury Department spokesperson stated that Bessent "will not be deterred by the Iranian regime's threats and remains committed to executing Operation Economic Outcast and maintaining the blockade, which together are collapsing Iran's economy."

Security concerns rose after The Wall Street Journal published an aerial photo of Bessent's $12.5 million Georgetown mansion shortly after his confirmation in January 2025, allowing the location to be geolocated. A source familiar with the situation told reporters that this exposure, combined with broader Iranian plotting against U.S. officials, prompted the relocation for safety.

Bessent is the third Trump Cabinet member to take such measures amid the threats, following Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. Iranian efforts to target current and former U.S. officials have reached an advanced stage, according to intelligence assessments.

The move comes as Bessent leads the administration's sanctions campaign against Iran. The Department of Justice announced indictments Tuesday against three Iranian-backed operatives linked to nearly 20 plots in the U.S. and Europe, including attacks on Jewish communities.

Iran has denied involvement in plots on U.S. soil. The severity of the specific threats against Bessent was not immediately detailed in the reports.
