Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent confirmed that he has moved from his Washington-area home to a military base after receiving death threats linked to Iran and accused the Wall Street Journal of putting his safety at risk by publishing a photograph that revealed his home’s location.

Bessent said he relocated on the advice of the Secret Service but insisted he would not be intimidated by threats from Iranian leadership, in an interview on CNBC’s Squawk Box.
