U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has relocated to a secure military base with his family due to threats from Iran that officials described as having reached an advanced stage, according to reports by Telex and HVG. The U.S. administration clarified that this move will not deter its ongoing economic campaign against Tehran. Meanwhile, U.S. officials noted that Iran's capacity to carry out large-scale attacks within the United States or in overseas territories remains limited.
