The US Treasury Department told Iran International that Scott Bessant, the country's Treasury Secretary, moved to a military base after publishing an article in the Wall Street Journal. The article contained a photo that could identify his whereabouts, which raises security concerns about Besant, according to a source familiar with the matter.
The spokesman for the US Treasury emphasized that the threats of the Islamic Republic will not prevent Basant's actions and that he is still determined to continue the operation of "economic exclusion" and the economic blockade of the Islamic Republic.
