The U.S. Treasury Department told Iran International that Scott Bessent, the country’s Treasury minister, moved to a military base after an article was published in The Wall Street Journal. The article included an image that made it possible to identify his place of residence, and, according to an informed source, it increased security concerns about Bessent.

A spokesperson for the U.S. Treasury Department emphasized that threats from the Islamic Republic will not prevent Bessent’s actions, and that he remains determined to continue the “economic expulsion” operation and the Islamic Republic’s economic blockade.
