🔻 American Treasury Secretary Scott Besant, who recently left his residence in Washington and moved to a military base, said that he will not be deterred despite "threats from Iran on his life. ".
In an interview with CNBC he said, "When our military forces in the Persian Gulf, as well as the President of the United States, are constantly facing death threats, why should I be afraid? ".
This comes as Iran has denied any plans to launch a ground attack on officials or people on US soil.
In an interview, Scott Besant said one of the reasons for the move was that the Wall Street Journal published an aerial photo of his home in the Georgetown neighborhood in January 2025.
He called it "a very irresponsible and dangerous act." ".
A senior US government intelligence official said last month that "Iran's conspiracies against American workers and citizens" had reached an advanced stage.
