US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has relocated from his home to a military base following threats to his life allegedly originating from Iran, The New York Times reported on November 10, citing people familiar with the matter. The severity of the threats against Bessent remains unclear. The report comes amid warnings from a senior Trump administration intelligence official that Tehran has intensified efforts to target US personnel, with assassination plots against American citizens reaching “advanced stages”, according to a memo reviewed by Reuters last month. However, US officials reportedly believe Iran has limited capabilities to carry out large-scale attacks on American soil or elsewhere overseas. (PC: AP)
