U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent was reportedly moved from his Washington, D.C., home to a military base after threats to his life, as officials warned that Iranian plotting against current and former American officials had become more advanced. The administration has not disclosed the threats’ scope or identified a specific plot, and Reuters reported that their severity remained unclear.

The move comes amid broader concerns about threats to U.S. personnel: intelligence indicated Iran had increased efforts to target Americans in the Middle East and elsewhere, while the State Department reduced staffing at four U.S. embassies in the region last month.

Since August, Bessent has led Operation Economic Outcast, a sanctions and economic-pressure campaign aimed at making Iran halt attacks on shipping and reopen the Strait of Hormuz, which has been largely closed since U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran on February 28.

Treasury’s measures target Iranian financial channels, oil-smuggling networks and other sources of revenue, including financial networks, airlines, digital-asset infrastructure and shipping operations.

The Treasury Department said Bessent would not be intimidated and would continue the administration’s economic pressure on Iran.

The Justice Department announced terrorism-related indictments against three Iranian nationals, alleging they were involved in nearly 20 attacks and attempted attacks in Europe and the United States, including a plot targeting RAF Fairford in the United Kingdom.

The alleged plots included a September 2026 attack targeting RAF Fairford, where U.S. military personnel were stationed; Attorney General Todd Blanche said the United States would prosecute anyone who planned a terrorist plot against a base housing American service members.

Iran reportedly made negotiations with the United States conditional on seven demands, including ending the blockade and sanctions, releasing frozen assets, paying compensation for war damage and stopping hostilities across the region.

Iran also told the International Atomic Energy Agency that attacks and threats against its nuclear facilities prevented normal inspections; the UN has been unable to verify the whereabouts of 441 kilograms of near-weapons-grade uranium for 17 months.

Iranian officials denied that negotiations were underway, with security chief Mohsen Rezaei saying claims of ongoing talks were intended to ease economic pressure and lower oil prices.

Donald Trump said the war was “practically over” militarily and that further action did not currently seem necessary, while warning the United States could resume attacks; Recep Tayyip Erdogan opposed renewed strikes.

A suspected drone attack halted production at Iraq’s Khor Mor gas field, reducing regional electricity generation by about 2.8 gigawatts; investigators had not found evidence that the drone came from Iran.
