US Treasury Secretary Basan moved to a military base due to "threats from Iran".
The head of the department has been conducting an economic pressure campaign on Tehran since August, and as a result it has become "one of the main targets of the Iranian side", writes the New York Times.
"Treasury Minister Scott Bassan recently moved from his home to a military base following Iranian threats on his life."
- The publication cites its own sources.
A representative of the Ministry of Finance said that the head of the department "remains committed to carrying out the campaign to weaken the Iranian economy".
According to the newspaper, American officials also concluded that Iran’s plans against American officials in the present and in the past “have reached a more advanced stage.” However, the threat severity is not entirely clear, and Tehran’s ability to launch broad-scale attacks on the United States remains limited.
