US Treasury Secretary Scott Bassan has been transferred from his residence in Washington, D.C. to a military base amid alleged Iranian assassination threats alongside White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller and Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Fox News reported, citing an anonymous senior administration official.
￭ The official claimed that the threats against Bassan had reached a "more advanced stage", without specifying when he was transferred.
￭ Bessant played a central role in Washington's economic warfare against Iran, launching "Operation Economic Outcast" to isolate and stifle its economy through sanctions and financial pressure.
￭ The Ministry of Finance approved his transfer, claiming that he refused to "back down from the threats of the Iranian regime".
