US Treasury Secretary Basen has moved from his home to a military base due to the threat from Iran, NYT writes with reference to sources.
According to the sources, Iran intensified the preparation of conspiracies against current and former American officials.
Among the potential targets is Treasury Secretary Scott Bassan, who is increasing the sanctions pressure on Tehran.
However, the level of threats to Bassan's life remains unclear. A spokesman for the US Treasury Department said that Besant "will not be deterred by threats from the Iranian regime" and is determined to implement a campaign of economic pressure on Iran.
According to the NYT, at least six senior US officials moved to a military base last year because of security concerns. Among them is the current head of the White House, Stephen Miller, and Pam Bundy, who at the time held the position of Attorney General.
