Executive Briefing
According to reporting by CBS News US National, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has relocated from his home in the Washington, D.C., area to a U.S. military base.
Detailed Factual Report
Washington — Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has relocated from his home in the Washington, D.C., area to a military base following a series of Iranian threats against his life.
"The secretary 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," a Treasury Department spokesperson said.
The decision comes as Bessent has spearheaded a U.S. push to cripple Iran's economy, vowing an "economic onslaught" against Tehran through a web of sanctions. The New York Times first reported Bessent's relocation.
A source familiar with the situation pointed to a Wall Street Journal story as the impetus for the move.
