WashingtonAt least 7 US officials have left their homes for protection.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent moved onto a military base after alleged threats from Iran.
A person familiar with the matter said media reports that identified Bessent’s home address contributed to the move.
Iran has repeatedly denied plotting to attack officials on US soil.
Treasury says Bessent will keep running Operation Economic Outcast and the blockade of Iran.
