据熟悉情况的多个消息来源称,由于伊朗的威胁,财政部长斯科特·贝森特在过去几周内被悄悄转移到华盛顿的一个军事基地。
目前尚不清楚伊朗对Bessent威胁的严重程度和范围,特朗普政府也没有详细说明威胁的性质。
据报道,贝森特在搬家前一直住在华盛顿的乔治敦社区。
其他内阁官员包括国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯和国务卿马尔科·卢比奥在华盛顿期间目前住在军事基地。
越来越多的政府高级官员为了自身安全搬到了军事基地,贝森特是其中最新的一个。多名高级政府官员去年被转移到受保护的住房或军事基地,包括白宫办公厅主任斯蒂芬·米勒。
一位财政部发言人告诉美国广播公司新闻,“部长不会被伊朗政权的威胁所吓倒,并继续致力于执行经济驱逐行动和维持封锁,这些行动和封锁一起正在摧毁伊朗的经济。”
贝森特领导了一场针对伊朗的经济压力运动,包括他在9月份表示的旨在“从经济上扼杀该政权”的制裁。
一位知情人士称,媒体关于贝森特住所位置的报道增加了人们对安全的担忧。该媒体报道于2025年1月发表,直到最近才采取行动转移Bessent。
保护贝森特的特勤局没有立即回应置评请求。
《纽约时报》首先报道了贝森特的搬迁。
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent moved to a military base, sources say
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was quietly moved to a military base in Washington in the last few weeks because of Iranian threats, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.
The severity and scope of the Iranian threats to Bessent are not immediately clear, and the Trump administration has not detailed the nature of the threats.
Bessent was reportedly living in Washington's Georgetown neighborhood until the move.
Other Cabinet officials including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are currently living on military bases while in Washington.
Bessent becomes the latest in a growing number of senior administration officials who have moved to military bases for their safety. Multiple senior administration officials were moved to protected housing or military bases last year, including White House chief of staff Stephen Miller.
A Treasury Department spokesperson told ABC News that the "Secretary will not be deterred by the Iranian regime’s threats and remains committed to executing Operation Economic Outcast and maintaining the blockade, which together are collapsing Iran’s economy."
Bessent has led an economic pressure campaign against Iran -- including sanctions that he said in September are meant to "economically asphyxiate this regime."
A source familiar with the matter said a media report about the location of Bessent's home increased security concerns. That media report was published in January 2025, and actions were only taken recently to move Bessent.
The Secret Service, which protects Bessent, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The New York Times first reported Bessent's relocation.
